Rhyme Time
Dream or reality

I was singing

Through my way,

I saw a ray

Birds were twittering

Stars were twinkling

Creatures were sleeping,

Some were walking

Immediately I stepped into a new world.

Where no voice could be heard

All around flowers were blooming

Base and the sky were shining

I was surprised

The ray answered

It wanted me to rise

I kept on asking —

Who are you?

And suddenly I felt —

Someone held my hand

And moved on that beautiful land

Suddenly the light of the rays went away .....

Inspiring me all through the way

In a slip of a second .....

I was back into reality — on earth

With a new feel

Questions arose within my mind

Without any solutions

Was it a dream or a reality.....

An experience with an awesome heavenly power

Or, a dream come true?

Eco-santas, here they are!

For saving earth — they are in charge

Instead of bringing toys to kids

Plants are what they bring

Instead of the ‘Jingle Bell’ song

‘Beautiful Saplings’ is what they sing

The same cute Santas

Emerge in not red but green

Coz they want people to know

Their clothes tell what they mean

Their work is to plant a tree a day

And chase all nasty woodcutters away

They want to save Jesus’ earth so dear

This is how they celebrated Christmas this year
