In love! Though he is still a child,
in the back yard so pink so mild,
swinging on a branch of a lovely tree,
a bud of rose completely free.
Free of tensions free of pains,
Free of guilt free of stains,
He invites her to enjoy a seesaw,
she flew helplessly like a straw,
When up he is sad as she is down,
when down and sees a flying crown!
Crown or silky wings of a fairy?
She is so charming when she's merry!
He sticks his foot firmly on the ground,
he loves to enjoy her laughter's sound
Merely a friendship or a love at this age?
What next when youth comes out of the cage!
The entire poem is a great pleasure to read. It brings out the innocence of childhood and a bit of their psychology. But the best of that part of life is reflected in the following lines: Free of tensions free of pains, Free of guilt free of stains,
The pleasure of riding a seesaw is expressed so marvellously. the happiness of those children feels too close to catch as there is no gap left between the merriment of reading this poem and riding a seesaw... thank you.
