Who Am I - Poem

Who Am I

I am the first cool rays of the sun

Brightening the night-time’s shadow

I am the silver gurgling stream lying in river’s shallows

I am the welcomed rays of the sun lighting the gloomy wood

I am the soft hand of dawn caressing the tiger’s brood

And awakening the baby rabbit

And stroking the woolly bear cub

And stirring the birds to singing

And melting the cold, black ground

So the mushroom can be found

I am Bala, Bala, Bhumi, Bhumi

I am the young virgin earth

I am the awakening springtime

I am the dainty lilies of the field nodding our lovely heads

I am the first crosus of spring just climbing out of my bed

I am the melting snow on the hill gathering a waterfall

I am the chick from the broken egg,

Stretching and standing so a tall

I am the roly-poly puppies

And soft and tender kittens

And wobbly, gobbly elephants

And all the new-born babies

From all the motherly ladies

I am Bala, Bala, Bhumi, Bhumi

I am the young virgin earth

I am the awakening spring time.
