I am growing up| Poem by Keshav,9, Mumbai
What is it like to watch yourself grow up? 9 year-old Keshav from Navi Mumbai tells us about his experiences in a delightful rhyme.
My mother always tells me that you have to follow your principles,
And when you will go to school there will be a principal.
At the age of three I was kind,
Then at the age of four I was sharp of mind.
When I turned five, on my birthday I received so many gifts,
And in my society, there are two lifts.When I was six I went to see the Sambhar lake,
And from the sky were falling snow flakes.
And in my society, there are two lifts.When I was six I went to see the Sambhar lake,
And from the sky were falling snow flakes.
When I was seven, I heard about heaven.
When I got a little puppy, I was very happy.
When I was nine my grandfather gave a traffic police a fine,
And I started writing a line.
