I'Am A Shadow Under The Tree... Poem by ankiit tohan

I was, I'am and I would never be free
I'am just a shadow under the tree..

I don't have arms and i don't have legs
but the sun makes me move so I don't need to beg..

still I'am a handicap for no reason
coz the mighty god made some seasons..

Oh look! here's a cute couple under my arms,
sitting, kissing and looking at the sky
but why can't they see I'am feeling so shy..

hours, days and months they came
now i understood there is nothing to shame!
It's now daily routine i wait for them, but one sad day i found none of them..

I asked my parent tree..father! where have they gone?
he replied..its okk...it happens..dere is nothing to mourn..
ages gone..
I have gone for a long sleep under the snow
carrying in my heart a deep sorrow..

But one nice morning i was woken up by someone touching my toe
Oh my! it's the ray of sun saying..wake up kid...its time to glow!

I opened my eyes..
but how can i believe..i'am so surprise.

the cute couple is here again
but i can't see dem very clear..coz its hard to retain

he shouted....'dave'...'henry'
go play under the tree..
then all of a sudden i realized...
.
.
.I was, I'am and I would never be free
coz.
