Lines Written For My Beloved Friend Poem by Prafulla Kumar Panda

It's time for the night to cease
and for the day to rise amidst the trees
the old man now totters to surprise
so, how can you be so shy?
let's rise and walk both you and I

the farmers rise and go to work
and the drudgery's not a question mark
the jubilant sun is up to spread its ray
so, how can you be so shy?
let's rise and work both you and I

the wind here doesn't stay
and the chill's carried far sway
the gleeful flowers gaze at the butterfly
so, how can you be so shy?
let's rise and watch both you and I

the horses in the lea neigh
and the birds fly to places near by
the merry children go out to play
so, how can you be so shy?
let's rise and play both you and I

the drizzle whizzes round to spray
and the trees dance on the brae
the jolly birds sing and bees try
so, how can you be so shy?
let's rise and sing both you and I

the stars above and in heaven the moon
detest sloth and to worry they frown
the earth's always mirthful and gay
so, how can you be so shy?
let's rise and enjoy both you and I

always bear zeal and adopt duty
for your Self, Family and Society
the Time does this message convey
so, how can you be so shy?
let's rise and persevere both you and I.
