Passing The Baton Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

Oh yes, it is a beautiful world, my dear,
But there are claws and talons out there,
So, be on your guard, take care!

Oh yes, it is a beautiful sunlit day, my dear,
But at times, God sends the thunder,
And storms to test our feathers!

Oh yes, we have a cosy nest, my dear,
But it may not last a year and so,
Learn to build your own, watching others!

Oh yes, it is warm under my wings, my dear,
But I will not be there forever,
So, learn to be on your own, be stronger!
