The Child Asked Her Mother, What Will It After That? , With Curiosity Repeatedly By Balkrishna Rao Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

The child asked it,
What will it happen after that,
Mother
With so much curiosity?

A beautiful bride
Coy and blushing will come
To your house one day,
Said she the loving mother.

And with it
Ran it down the face
A line of joy filling hope and new spirit,
But asked he again, what it after that?

And the mother too
Tired with questioning and answering,
Responded she
That one day she will be no more after being old.

The child heard it
With eyes filled with tears filled
But again asked he with the same
Childish simplicity, what will it after that?

The child taught the poet,
Joy and sorrow the maya of existence,
The eternal unresolved question,
How to answer it?
