A Man
December 5, 2019
He is born into a family as the first child
The love of parents - sweet, caring and mild
Gone 10, he begins a different phase
No thoughts about life, so sit down and gaze
Now, he is older and has an idea about the universe
No need for explanations, he knows it as a verse.
He wants to go mad, get wild and reckless
But the life he chooses must leave no mess.
There is too much in him for the world- to show
Have responsibilities on the shoulder, and a path to go
Carrying a bag of truth, love, and bravery - onward he ran
The time has come - he has become “A Man”.
