I Thank Thee Poem by Binayakumar Mohanty

The sun, the moon
and the stars
The birds, the bees
and the flowers
all paved me the way
But this time, I was away.

This time I didn't go
as I knew, So.
You 're nothing new
every time you cheated and flew.

For I was not in your view
Like some last few.

How Strange!
They all return
from the fair with smiles on the face
but this time
I was not in the race.

All their little sons and daughters
had in their hands balloons of dreaming colors.

I saw you brought them cheer
for I 'll not drop tear.

They, all were with you
although I warned them not to go
because I feared
like me, to them, out
you could throw.

Last many times
why didn't they believe
the words of mine?
Why didn't they believe me?

For
You brought in their face
such precious smile
I thank thee!
I thank thee!
