Dakshita Deshmukh, Class IX B
I saw you in that toothless smile
Of the down-on-his-luck stranger
When I offered him
My juicy pinkish ripe peach
Left over from my afternoon lunch…
Oh! How his smile shone so…
I saw you in that twinkle in my sister’s eye
As I chased her around the park
Climbing up and down the slide
Across the bridges through tubes and tunnels
Playing a simple game of tag…
Oh! How those eyes twinkled with love…
I saw you in that couple walking on the sandy beach
Hand in hand under the setting sky
The rich hues of yellow, orange and red
Floating in the clouds up high…
Oh! How their passion radiated…
I saw you in that beautiful rose
Opening up so fresh and new
Brightening up my garden…
Oh! How beautiful was that sight…
I see you all around
In love, in kindness, in care
In nature’s beauty, in life…
I see you…
