Smiling Stars - My Childhood Friends

How big the world is?

Can you tell me this?

How small the stars look

But huge they are in fact

Says the book

At night the stars are automatically lit

How strange it is, isn't it?

When from the bed rises the Sun

The stars go to sleep one by one!

My Daddy says the stars are countless

But they can't be more than a thousand

Is what i really guess!

My sister had once said

When heart beat stops man is dead

Likewise a logic strikes

The twinkling of the stars

Is beating of their hearts

Indicating that they are all alive!

My mom says after people die

they become stars

and its a certain law of nature!

Then why do people fear to die

When life on sky

would be a real adventure!

When i happen to die

I will carry with me

Everything needed to play cricket

The ball, the bat, the pad, and the wicket

It you wish to come

You are most welcome!

You see that star just at the end

Looks like my best friend

Who left me alone back two years

Only to feel lonely and shed tears!

We would gather others and play cricket

They would set and we wud chase the target

Above the big clouds the stars stay

So rains wud no more delay the play!

We wont play during the day

But at night under the white moonlight

A life free from study

What a wonderful thought

Only I would miss

Maths a lot!
