I don’t like my curly hair.
Everyday I say a prayer.

God, please make my hair straight.
I want to make two long plaits.

Do you think He hears my plea?
Oh, she asked innocently of me.

Dear, you look truly like an angel.
But they are always entangled.

Please, please pray for me.
I want hair like you, you see.

Do you think He really loves me?
Darling, He loves everyone you see.

Then why did he make my hair curly.
He loves you very, very dearly.

On hearing this she did a jig.
He must have a heart really big.

I just can’t love everyone.
That boy who teases me, for one.

Then she clapped and ran about.
Kicking the ball, scream and shout.

Forgot all about her curls.
How dainty is my little girl!


Of Anika, for Anika, my grand daughter

Its that age of children, when they have that open mind Which is ready to hear and understand Its only when grown up they get closed to outside A feeling that.. now i know everything. How nice it is to be... a child at heart and mind forever We can have a closed door still an open gate... as the age goes... Nice one... simple truth.
