I am a child who…..|Poem by 8 year old from Secunderabad
8 year old Aanya Katturi from Secunderabad beautifully reflects for many of us how COVID has transformed our lives.
I am a child who loves playing football,
Sigh, I am now left with watching it on TV.
I am a child who loves reading,
Sigh, I now flip channels more than pages.
I am a child who lives to play in the rain,
Sigh, I have no choice but to play online.
I am a child who wants to meet her friends,
Sigh, I say hi and bye from a screen far away.
I am a child who lives to sing and dance,
Sigh, I croon and groove to Alexa
I am a child who loves to go to school,
Sigh, I have to rely on Zoom and Duo which is not very cool!
