One sunny day by the pool
I was just relaxing with a book;
My boy was swimming in the water
While I was swimming in the words!
My eyes were taking off from the book
Now and then to watch the kids;
And one flight of my eyes landed
On a tiny sparrow, near the bush!
He spotted two seeds nearby
And flew away having consumed one!
I got back into my pool of words
Without giving the other seed any thought;
Neglected, was it? Not at all
Which I realized after the sun went down thrice!
Another sunny day by the pool
I was just relaxing with a book;
My boy was swimming in the water
While I was swimming in the words!
My eyes were taking off from the book
Now and then to watch the kids;
And one flight of my eyes landed
On a tiny sapling near the bush!
Delighted was I to spot the lively sapling
Having grown from the tiny seed;
Neglected, was it? Not at all
But bringing forth a mighty tree!
I was just relaxing with a book;
My boy was swimming in the water
While I was swimming in the words!
My eyes were taking off from the book
Now and then to watch the kids;
And one flight of my eyes landed
On a tiny sparrow, near the bush!
So tiny about my pointer long
Bobbing its head left and right;He spotted two seeds nearby
And flew away having consumed one!
I got back into my pool of words
Without giving the other seed any thought;
Neglected, was it? Not at all
Which I realized after the sun went down thrice!

On a tiny sapling near the bush!
Delighted was I to spot the lively sapling
Having grown from the tiny seed;

But bringing forth a mighty tree!
