'Oh what it is to be a child'
Oh, what it is to be a child To find beauty even in the wild To see the world, so light and free And be One with the God in thee. To amaze at the flutter of a butterfly And curiously follow an ant’s trail To gaze at the birds soaring high And be amused by the ways of a snail. To love the weather, wet or dry And shine like the Sun on a dull day To stare in wonderment at the night sky And watch the trees do the Sway. To dance with the heart, and not the feet And sing without a tune To make music, without a beat And to find a friend in the Moon. To love, with all their life And grieve but only for a moment To speak what is on their mind And to accept all Nature’s bestowment. Oh what it is to be a child To see the world as it is meant to be With everything be beguiled And be One with the God in thee. - Roohul Husain
