Analysis of The Journey Of A Child

Dev Ashish Das 2006 (Bhubaneswar, Odisha)



When a child is born,
This world appears to him unknown
The shrill cry sounding out of him,
This period passes down with time.

The child runs here and there,
Playing and enjoying are his only prayer
Education creates a new difference,
This period passes with time preference.

The child enters a new world,
The adulthood is completely whirled
This comes the new way of understanding,
This time the child analyses the time passing.

At last the journey comes to an end,
The child understands the life trend
The child remembers his family at last,
But understands time had already past.
