Number, Number Poem by Bharati Nayak

Number, Number
Who discovered the number?
What does a number stand for?
Number is the very basic for evolving science
From simple counting to measuring the distance between stars
Numbers play an essential role in knowledge.
What a wonder this number is!
How do mathematicians play with numbers?
How did the concept of a negative number and infinity come?
Numbers are also milestones in a person's life
Numbers are used to keep records of time
The birth date, wedding date or date of getting a job
We use the numbers to remember important events
Number is used in our everyday life.
Be it to dial on a mobile phone
Or to purchase a thing from grocery
Or to check one's bank balance
Or to know the temperature of a day
Everywhere we find numbers and numbers only.
Though mathematics looks puzzling
It is the most essential thing in our daily living.
