A Child Taught Me Poem by dhruna rao

i getup everyday rememberig nothig.
except the memory of being happy.
the joy of seeing a flower,
and admiring its beauty.
the happiness of the clouds passby.
and the wonderful feeling when
you tastes the first drops of rain.
but now i see the world,
with a hole within.
i forgot the meaning of,
what the word joy meant
when some one said 'have a nice day'.
the only thing i have now,
is my blanket over my body.
perhaps used to shield my memories
from evaporating into the blue sky.
my once animated world has now
turned into a dump of guilt and sorrow.
then came this girl with a smile on her face.
with shinny eyes of innocence and
a heart as pure as honey.
she touched my heart and
pressed the flower against my heart against my heart.
she smiled and said 'it's okey and left.
a dry smile rushed through my face.
and ever since i realised my right to be happy.
no matter what is yet to come.
i will always remember her.
until the colour of my blood turn blue,
for she taught me how to smile.
