Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Wander at Night
A night
When the moon is shining bright
Lights up the darkened road as he
Walks alone, with his cane
Illuminating his path at night
As the forests and mountains fight
To cover the dirt road combating
For supremacy, as he walks by, thinking…
As the beautifully quiet night
Envelops his being, his Wandering flight
Into the unknown natural dangers,
Not forgetting the man made ones
Even scarier in such a darkened night,
When owls and predators alight
In a feat to survive and reign supreme
In a world of beauty, and night
When evil rules minds and dives into sin.

As he wander and cannot sleep with eyes closed.
He walks barefoot, with his feet on the dewcovered
Grass, the shepherd boy, with a plough and cloth protecting his shoulders,
He walks to the field before sunrise.
He has to walk miles down the hill,
With clothes in colorful bursts
As winter comes for the Babus!
The laborers, the poor are always poor.
They have to endure hardships with masked smile.
Open your eyes, oh ye rich people
The poor around you are helpless.
Those in your service are suffering on cold nights.
They are suffering in sleepless pains.
They walk with hungry eyes before sunrise.
Ones go to golden fields to worship Maa Lakshmi.
Unselfishly holding ond to faith as savior..!!!
