EVER ALIVE

Taking birth in mortal world

Safe and secure

In

Mother's lap

Whatever be the race

Whatever be the language

Mm mm mm ma ma

That's the first word

A child speaks out 

The moment he learns to speak

No body teaches him

No body tells him

But

It comes so natural

And thus 

Nature becomes first teacher

To guide him

Through

The ways of life!

Perhaps that is the case with me

Also

Like any other child!

As

I begin to understand

The world around

I come across many people

From whom I love to learn

Holding them in high esteem

Ever alive 

The student in me

Ever grateful and thankful 

To 

All those from whom I learn a lot

And who patiently

Teach me a lot!

Acknowledging that 

I thankyou teacher 

My eternal teacher

Ethereal Nature

Whose benevolent nuances

With 

Profound blessings 

Without

Any discriminations 

Teaches 

Consistency and perseverance

So essential for co-existence!
