POEM 22 CHILDHOOD

Then walking amidst the tide,

waking up with a dream of having to do something great

perhaps to impress the elder

and

perhaps to fulfill an ambition which strikes into action .

Then trying to make through the teens with youngsters just like him

and

probing into the secrets of his friends,

then also concentrating on his dreams

and

achievements

and

going on and on amidst all failures,

with perseverance,

thrills,

surpasses his teens

and

becomes an adult with dreams fulfilled

and

finding a way to success.
