" The Neem Tree " (POEM)

My Lovely Neem,

That intercepts sun's scorching beam,

Yet bears the heat all day 

Without the rain's refreshing spray,

Thou charm'st the wandere's woe away

With soothing shade.

How strong you are, how unafraid,

How green thy leaves inspite of all

The mid-day flames that burning fall

Upon thy unprotected head ...........

Could man be bold as thou and rise 

Above the eaeth, With the sheltering arm 

To save the suffering ones from harm,

From sorrows, povertry and vice

Through sacrifice 

Could man be steadfast, and like thee

Face every fate, would it not be

Filfilment of life's loftiest dream.

My lovely Neem!
