Child who sold balloons

BAKED IN SUN, HE WALKED BAREFOOTED,
WITH LITTLE ON, IN THE NAME OF CLOTHES,
SELLING BALLOONS OF ALL COLORS,
AT NINE HE WISH TO PLAY WITH,
WHAT HE USED TO SELL,
FOR HIM EVERYDAY WAS A NEW DAY,
HOPE BELIED,SMILES DENIED,
PUTTING ASIDE OF GAME LOST,
BASKED IN INNOCENCE,IN STRIDE,
PLAYING WITH COLORS IN SLEEPILY NIGHTS,
MELTING IN DAWN,WHEN HE IS OUT FOR ONE MORE TIME,
BAREFOOTED,
BALLOONS ALL OVER,NOT A ONE FOR HIM,
MOM,
HE OFTEN CRIED,
WITH A SIGH WHY CAN'T I ,
HAVE ONE,
FOR ONCE MOM,
MAY I SELL ONE LESS,
KEEP THIS ONE,
RED I LIKE MOST,
MOM,
NEVER AGAIN I WILL BOTHER YOU,
ONE FOR TODAY,
WHICH I SELL DAILY,
MAY I KEEP THIS RED,
MOM,
HOLDING HIS HANDS,
DRAWING CLOSE,
LOOKING IN EYES,
POURING HER LOVE MOM CAJOLED,
MY SON,
SEE IN MY EYES THIS RED
LOOK AT TREES .. GREEN IS YOURS,
UP ABOVE BLUE IN SKY,OCEAN'S BLUE
IS ALL YOURS,
WHITE OF CLOUDS,SEVEN  OF RAINBOW,
ALL COLORS ARE YOURS,
 MY SON,
WHY THEN YOU CRY!
.....FOR ONE COLOR OF LIFE,
WHEN WHOLE WORLD IS YOURS,
HOLD NOT LET IT GO, FOR THOSE,
WHO KNOWS NOT WHAT THEY HAVE.

Widow of a Soldier

     



On this shore, where life roar,

Tear tore as you soar,

High up somewhere in sky,

You are gone leaving me alone.

Pumping iron piercing armour,

Never you shiver or quiver,

Till a shell explode, blood flows,

Putting up,against all odds,

You are gone leaving me alone.

Never you sway from words you say,

Keeping the word,promise you made,

But for one, you made to me,

Before you left leaving me alone

Tears I weap,mellow me,

Memories of you ripe,

Time for me to confide,

That I am proud to be your wife,

A Soldier's Wife......
