The Journey To Grim Land Poem by Raj Arumugam

And Ha Ha boy and girl Child walk to Grim Land.
And they walk through dust and rain and sun.
But they do not tire, for they sing to themselves the songs of the bird at the grove.

Ha Ha boy sings:

Ha ha boy
la la heart
wipe that grim look
and have a smile;
ha ha boy
laugh as much as you can
and your cheeks will glow
and your eyes sparkle;
O ha ha boy
la la heart
sing a song
and smile and laugh all day
dear ha ha boy


And child Girl sings:

We will find the gentle bird
of the bamboo grove;
we will find
beauty and grace and calm;
we will bring
the singing bird back
to its home in the grove
