PURE SOUL
PURE SOUL
When I think of grandma
The memory is very faint
She told me so many stories
To me, she was like a saint.
One of the stories I cherished
Is about a child with pure soul
He loved to help other people
Than play with toys or a doll.
A sage came to their village
Under a statue, he was preaching
The child became his follower
Listening carefully about what he is teaching.
Someone asked the sage
Whose statue is this
Sage smiled and told them
This is a man of god's wish.
Will devout his life for the village
And heaven it will become
He will live in this village
Help you all, not just some.
Like all the other people
Child had faith in what he said
Whosoever came to the village
''It's that man'', he believed in his head.
With so many beautiful things
A merc
hant came there
After selling all the things
He was gone, no one knows where.
Then a king came to the village
But also gone in a few days
This time also thought ''it's him''
Now started losing faith in sage.
Meanwhile he was working hard
But he was not so greedy
He used to help the poor
And always there for the needy.
He was a generous man
Never said no to the poor
He would help everyone
Whosoever came, for sure.
People of the village
Started calling him god
He said no, don't say it
To me, it looks very odd.
Now he was a married man
To his son, he was talking
His son told him something
Near the statue, they were walking.
He was stunned to hear
It just came out of the blue
What his son just told him
''Father, the statue looks just like you''
