Whenever…

a poem by Gaurishankar Chemudupati

Whenever I look at the sky
I am reminded to try to rise high!
Whenever I look at a child
I think about how she faces this world!
Whenever I look at the stars in the night
I feel that everything is right and bright!
Whenever I look at the poor
I feel angry at the selfish rich!
Whenever I observe two lovers
I wish their love to bloom flowers!
Whenever I look at a mother
I think about how she cares her child in bad weather!
Whenever I see my wife
I am happy I got good partner in life!
Whenever I look at the sea
The depth, riches and greatness of life I foresee!
Whenever I look at a dog
I determine never to be slave for food!
Whenever I look at the mirror
I feel happy that I am not alone!
