Being the youngest child,
I am so fortunate,
Among all my siblings,
I have the best fate.
...
It flew and came near my ear,
And played a cacophonic tune,
But when I tried to strike it,
It flew away so soon.
...
I stand still the whole day and night,
Just like a statue,
I have no life in me,
And nothing, I can do.
...
A person who cared for me
Since I was small,
And brought up his children,
One and all.
...
Physical pain can cause hurt,
But more painful is mental pain.
Vulgar words once blurted out,
Cannot be taken back again.
