A Woman Comforting a Child Frightened by a Dog
text © Raj Arumugam, May 2008; drawing: Rembrandt c.1636
little child, lovely child
wave hello
this creature is simply curious;
little child, lovely child
do not fear
for the dog just wants to be friends
when we go for a walk
dearest child
so much beauty waits for us;
there are the clear blue sky
and the birds that fly
the leaves that glisten
and the sun that warms your shoulders
when we go for a walk
loveliest child
the world comes to meet us;
neighbor Tom and aunty Mag
and the fresh air, gentle flowers
and butterflies in all their colors
and just before the market
this loving, friendly dog comes to greet us
little child, lovely child
wave hello
this creature is simply curious;
little child, lovely child
do not fear
for the dog just wants to be friends

Close
the mother , the saviour, the guide who helps us to see the world and understand it.....
and a few years later we start telling her about the world.... get irritated that she is so out-fashioned, as we grow out.....
may be this is the way life is...
nice poem Raj ji... cute and sweet...
