WASTAGE OF FOOD
Every drop of Water
Every grain of Rice
Can feed a thousand
In the vast Sahara Sands
Every single piece of food
Thrown in the bin
Does you no good
But earns you a sin!!
Think of the needy and poor
Starving all day
Before you throw
Or Waste any Food in any silly way

TOYS
When the night comes beckoning
And the sun bids farewell
The toys come to life
On their way down town
The party lights are turned on
And pop music sounds
As the dolls bring lemonade
And cake from the town
Every one clears up the tables
And sit down to eat
But sadly then the sun comes up
And the poor toys have to stay hungry

THERE IS NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT
A joy not yet felt
Lies deep in my heart
The fragrant flowers any heart can melt
Like a sweet juicy tart
Today isn’t a day
Just like any other
There is something special, the flora and fauna say
It is not just another common dawn
Yes today is not a day to waste
With futile postponement for the next
So let us make haste, to work for all we are worth
With our muscle flexed
There is no time like the present
So don’t waste this invaluable time
Lest it is eternally lost and spent
So that success bells chime
So don’t waste a single day
In lazy actions my friend
Lest in the future the prize to pay
Wont with its burden, make us bend!!

THE CREATOR, ALMIGHTY
Sunsets so rosy red
Skies so blue
Every hungry person I fed
Are him too
Roses of scarlet
Sunflowers of gold
Every fresh and clear rivulet
For centuries his glory has told
He is the sculptor that moulds us like dough
He is the foamy ocean waves
He is trees with their broad boughs
Kind hearted souls he always sees
He is the delicate tender blossoms
He is the good and cheerful times
In situations of need he always comes
I pray to him, to protect me from crimes.

SNOW
As an icy layer formed
On top of the pond
Small white icicles
Formed on my nose
I shivered as I saw
That a wet blanket of snow
Had covered the garden
Sparkling, pristine and slippery
I build a snowman
And little snow angels
I played till I froze
And reluctantly had to go in
I took a sip of hot cocoa
As I sat by the fire
And remembered the glorious evening
The evening I saw snow.

MY FAMILY
Oh dear mummy
You are so sweet
You are the only person
Whom I will do anything to meet
Oh dear daddy
You are so courageous and brave
Away from the cruel world
Me you protect and save
Oh dear granny
You are so old and wise
You always comfort me
When you hear my cries
Oh dear grandpa
You are so kind and strong
Whenever you go to the market
To buy my favourite fruits, You take me along
Oh dear brother
You are very cute and nice
But the awful thing is
You keep me awake with your cries
Oh dear Timmy
You are the most adorable dog I have seen in my life
You are faithful and obedient
I hope I have the best master been

SECOND THOUGHT
Spicy chutney too good to be true
But what if your stomach makes you turn blue
Cakes chocolates are all ready for tea
All as unhealthy as can be
Hot samosas on with tomato sauce
But not so delightful, if your tummy goes in for a toss
Ice creams and jellies look pleasing
But what if you can’t stop sneezing
Your tongue you please like a maid
But what if your health is in for a junk food raid
Put in a second thought
So that you shan’t be caught
