Came into this world and opened my eyes Saw it all without understanding Was cared for by people near me Then gradually I began to develop
Saw faces that I could recognize Heard a few familiar voices Moved to a different place A place they called a home
Day by day I learnt more Day by day I was corrupted All the things and people near me Began to influence my mind
Crawling on all four I saw this world Trying to grasp everything coming my way Playing with whatever came in my hand Then crawling further to new terrain
They said my smile was so pure Expressing nothing but happiness and joy You all would remember, we were that child: Who with unselfish smile could rule the world
Unconcerned with the pace of time Which now has made me what I am I cried aloud when I needed something Smiled and played when I was content
Began to walk upon my feet Used to fall a lot and rise again Started uttering some sensible words Probably that's where my story ends
Is that child now alive or dead? Or like many before him who came on earth Has lost his innocence, dreams and smiles: In the path to become a Man?
