When the world smiled,
Full of sunshine,
Where was I?
When the sparrows chirped,
Full of enthusiasm,
Where was I?
When the roses bloomed,
Full of fragrance,
Where was I?
When the moon shined,
Full of brightness,
Where was I?
When the trees swayed,
To a beautiful rhythm,
Where was I?
Ah! There I was,
Shouting at the sparrows to stop,
Plucking the roses,
Shivering with the swaying of the trees,
Making my life…
Little did I realize,
Life was indeed happening..
