All I Knew..


When I was a little girl,I never really knew..
from where the sun comes, and finally where it goes.

All I knew that it looked beautiful,
All I knew that birds will sing,
Though I loved the moonlit sky,
But I liked the sun comming in.

I know now that sun is always there,
I don't care about the singing birds,
Coz now I hardly see the rising sun,
Its been long, since any chirping I had heard.

When I was a little girl, the rain drops fascinated me..
The tiny drops pouring down the sky made me wonder,
Why the tap is left turned on, is the God so busy?

All I knew was to run out and dance in the rain,
All I knew was water made me feel good,
I liked making the paper boats,
and loved to see them float.

I know now the theory of evaporation,
And I don't run out to play,
I don't like waitin for the rain to stop,
As m worried what if I get late.

When I was a little girl, I wanted to touch the rainbow..
I wondered how all the colors bend,
It started right above my head, just wanted to see where it ends.

All I knew was it will come after the rain,
All I knew was I have to search the sky,
Always wanted to ride my bike on it,
It made me sad when it went out of sight.

I know now what is refraction,
I know why the colors bend this way,
I have long forgot about its existence,
These days I don't turn my head so high.

When I was a little girl, I always wanted to fly..
Freedom of the birds was what I looked for,
Wanted to see places, from where I never pass by.

All I knew was clouds are very soft,
All I knew was breeze was cold,
I liked making paper air planes,
And I loved to race them against the blue sky.

I know now I can buy air tickets,
And I know one needs wings to fly,
I avoid the unneccesary travel,
When I want a change I just go near by.

I ponder now about my exitence,
But there was a time when I used to live,
Now I am busy trying to get everything,
But there was a time when I use to give.

I have changed like a season,
But I know its still a part of me,
This is not what I thought of my life,
The same little girl is what I want to be.
