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.
...
I am a shiny, twinkling object,
Like an emerald gleaming,
Across the Milky Way, I float,
With my group following.
...
No life is superior,
Compared to students' life,
Now I look back to the day,
When we fled, our group of five.
...
Finally, the day came, when I felt,
That I have been given back,
The plethora of joy of my childhood,
Which I thought, I would forever lack.
...
I feel enchanted at the snowfall,
That falls on the ground,
Spreading a white cotton blanket,
Making me feel astound.
...
I am charming and multi-colored,
Just like a colorful bird.
With seven pigmented bows,
I come making a beautiful pose.
...
I am a sweet and fragile,
Cute and charming fairy
People dread me on seeing,
Though I don't appear scary.
...
Who could have given thee,
Ideas of varietal, diversifying colors
If the world would have been,
Devoid of birds, butterflies and flowers?
...
One of the greatest wonders,
Of the world are sounds,
They add to this charming world,
Taste and fantasy, profound.
...
In the same single life,
Come all types of moments,
It depends on how you accept,
By making no comments.
...
A small garden I am,
In thy clothes' pocket,
I am your tutor,
If you have a reading habit.
...
When the rice fields whisper,
And the kids play and laugh,
Glancing at a cow or bull,
Or a cute timid calf,
...
Falling from the mountain range,
With my full force,
I bathe the rocks and pebbles.
Following my never-ending course.
...
Being a bright hot ball,
Yellowish, golden,
For centuries I am hanging,
In the sky, since times, olden.
...
Sitting on the wall,
My sweet and fair neighbor,
The Iraqi boy, Abdullah,
Cheeks, so chubby, like rubber.
...
Since I was a tiny sapling,
Till I transformed into a mighty tree,
I am fixed in one point,
Whatever the weather may be.

The Youngest Child
Being the youngest child,
I am so fortunate,
Among all my siblings,
I have the best fate.
No responsibility to take,
I am the most privileged.
Every hard work of my home,
Is, by my elders managed.
Though I am fully grown up,
And am an adult,
Youngest, I will always remain,
Having anybody, to consult.
Nothing to care and worry,
Just like a free bird
To all my siblings,
I appear weird.
Though being the youngest,
Has many disadvantages,
It also does have,
As many advantages.
From my elder brothers and sisters,
All things I receive,
But anything to them,
I never have to give.
Spending all my extra time,
In my recreational hobbies,
Which I like most,
And can never cease.
I make full use,
Of my good fortune,
God has made me lucky,
It is a great boon.
