ODE TO MY FATHER

You may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.

Perhaps, you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The personality I am today,
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.

I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did,
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful son

ODE TO MY MOTHER

For all the things I didn't say,
About how I felt along the way,
For the love you gave and the work you've done,
Here's appreciation from your admiring son.

You cared for me as a little tot
when all I did was cry a lot.
And as I grew your work did too--
I ran and fell and got black and blue.

I grew some more and it didn't stop;
Now you had to become a Scientific Officer,
To worry about mistakes I'd make;
You kept me in line for my own sake.

I got older, and the story repeated;
You were always there whenever I needed.
You guided me and wished me the best;
I became wiser and knew I was blessed.

So, for all the times I didn't say,
The love I felt for you each day,
Mom, read this so you can always see
Just how much you mean to me.

Mom, Thanks for everything!

THE LOST TREES

After a long time,

Out of my city,

I went to visit my sister,

Who lived down the street.

Once which street was full of trees,

Now had no trees,

Everywhere you see, only lamps,

Surrounded by some concrete.

I was shocked to see this plight,

Of trees still being cut of varied heights,

Hey my friends, don’t cut the trees,

If you want to stay on the world which is light.

HEAT

Heat is

Hotness or coldness.

                                                    It passes from,                                          

Hot body to cold body.

Metals are good conductors

While wood, plastic are some insulators,

Air is a bad conductor,

Include rubber too in insulators

Heat can be passed in three ways

Conduction, convection and radiation.

Conduction needs a solid body,

And convection a liquid or gas

Radiation needs no body!

Sea breeze in the day,

When wind from the sea comes to the land

Land breeze in the night,

When wind from the land goes to the sea.

Very useful

Is this heat,

But in summers

Do beat the heat!

ONCE I............................

Once I look in the night sky,

I see the stars so high,

I see them, so beautiful,

With the beautiful moon they lie.

Once I look in the water,

I see the baby fish inside falter,

Some big fish act as the “halter”,

And run ahead of others.

Once I look at the ground on which I stand,

I see the birds land,

See the horizon, the sky and land,

Go hand in hand.

Once I see the creatures on the land,

And in the water,

Some are cold blooded,

Some are warm blooded.

Once I see the birds in the sky,

Up above they fly,

As if they have just got independence,

Their flight is so high

So preserve this beautiful nature,

With many beautiful creatures,

Let them show their stint,

And not be extinct.

THE RETURN OF THE WORLD CUP: MY DREAM

MS Dhoni allots the fielders,

It’s the last over.

Australia, the leaders,

Need 6 runs of the last over.

Dhoni is still nervous,

To whom shall he give the ball?

Harbhajan and Zaheer are injured,

And Ashwin is not bowling well at all.

There comes the man,

In the form of Tendulkar,

Asks Dhoni for the ball,

Says,” I will bowl them all”

So the ball is given to Tendulkar,

Oh ! how he spun the ball!,

The first ball, Hussey is out!

Australia is 6 wickets down.

Next comes Clarke,

He is the man in form,

All come and discuss here,

How to get him out?

The second ball is defended,

And the third goes for a 4.

Australia need 2 runs to win,

The crowd is silent, and sounds as if a shore.

The next ball Clarke misses,

“Just missed!”, Dhoni announced,

“The next ball he’s out!”

He shouts.

The next ball Clarke vies for a single,

As the ball races towards the Long off.

But Raina at midwicket,

Won’t let the ball go.

Last ball and 2 runs needed,

Australia were in a lure,

They had to go for it,

Or they would lose for sure.

Tendulkar spun the ball sharply,

From the end of the wicket to,

The middle stump.

But Clarke flicked it away,

Oh! yes, he shouted as he went,

For to the other end.

But beautiful fielding, by Kohli,

And what a throw!

Clarke is RUN OUT!

He had fallen for the lure,

All Indians celebrate,

As they win their 2^nd World Cup, for sure!!

THE TREE IN MY GARDEN

I grew a tree long ago,

It gives me a lot of fruits, you know,

It gives me shade and happiness, indeed,

And helps us a lot when we need.

The birds build their nests,

                                              The tree is like their treasure chest,           

Squirrels love to play,

And monkeys jump here all day.

Children play around my tree,

They pick the fruits from here for free,

Once in a year there are beautiful flowers,

In autumn they fall in a shower.

The tree is there for almost thirteen years,

As if it’s attached to the soil without fears,

That’s my tree, I say,

It will stand here all day.

Whether day or night,

The tree always stands upright,

Rain and storm could not uproot the tree,

That’s my tree, I say,

It will stand here all day.

MY DOG'S ROAD TO FAME

Bat was my dog’s name,

All he wanted was fame, and just fame,

But there was a problem with him,

The problem was that he was lame.

I saw the problem,

And I saw the pain,

He was limping,

All along the lane.

I took the dog home,

As he groaned,

Fame, fame !, I could hear his voice,

As the sadness on his face shone.

All the way, I ran,

I ran as fast as I could,

Then  I thought I missed,

I missed something useful.

I ran behind, and what I saw !

I saw a poster for a fashion show, for the lame

Prize money of Rs 100000,

And obviously,assured fame.

I quickly put my name in it,

And they told me the date,

                        ‘At sharp 6 :50, tomorrow you should be here,

Please don’t be late’

I showed my dog the cat walk,

I showed him how to wave,

But all he did was,

Just sit and gape.

I sighed, and then went to rest,

Thinking the dog wasn’t at its best,

Went to sleep, waiting for tomorrow,

It wasn’t a matter for sorrow.

I woke up early next day,

I saw the window, and a way,

In which my dog, would sway,

I ran along the way,

And found ourselves at the fashion show,

My dog beside me, kept low,

I saw the show had started,

And my name was being called.

I ran along with my dog,

He also ran like a hog,

It was misty, with a lot of fog,

But when I saw besides me,

Still I could see my dog.

He danced on the stage,

As if he was on a rage,

A one-leg dance, as the judges called it,

I thought was not a way of fame.

But when the results came,

I  became lame,

I saw my dog,

Not 3rd, Not 2^nd,

In the 1 st place.

I received the cash prize,

And my dog got his fame,

And he can’t be called lame,

He’s a fun way of getting fame.

Poem- The Republic Day Comes

We Indians are very proud to celebrate Republic day
Protected by soldiers in the border who never sway
Hear me, I just have few things to say
Reading this you may decide your own way

Over the years that has past
'26th Jan is just another holiday', I thought
With the very recent wisdom I have got
I salute the leaders who had fought

I hear the media 'flash news' and end up in tears
'Will there be more news on bomb blasts?', I fear
Horrible living in the midst of terrorism and war
Is this what the great Mahatma Gandhi dreamt for?

Let's not watch the cricketer's zeroes
And stay away from the Corruption bureaus
Our great Jawans have nothing but only sorrows
Let us bow our heads for those real life heroes

Pay your tax, be very brave, take the wise decision today
Don't you wish your grand children to happily play?
We Indians are very proud to celebrate Republic day
Protected by soldiers in the border who never sway

Poem- Nature's power

Nature is beautiful,
Nature is fun,
Love it or hate it,
Nature is something to love,
Nature is god's gift to us






Nature protects the ozone,
Nature has a green hue,
Nature reduces pollution,
Nature keeps the sky blue 


Nature is affected by plastics,
Plastics we shouldn't throw,
Chemicals affect the nature,
Don't let the chemicals affect the growth




We should fall in love with nature as 
Nature waters and feeds us.
God gave us nature,
We cant live with out it,
Nature makes us.

Nature is beautiful,
Nature is about the earth,
The flowers, fruits, seeds & weeds, the surroundings
It is contained in everything around us
Come and enjoy
and be with the nature.
