Let Him Live Poem by Rajkumar Mukherjee

Let him live


a child resides in your heart
he has stored all the memories
of good and evil right from your childhood


he can retrieve any of it
depending on your mood at the call of a button
you dance with his tune
make merry or cry at his finger point


I like you my baby
I can still maintain my youth
only because of your company
when your heart dies
who else live
life becomes a living desert
like the thorny shrubs


Oh God let my child
live inside me forever
till my body is buried in the grave
