Poem 187 - A joyous week

Right after receiving gifts from Santa

Around the corner comes new year

After attending Christmas festive parties

Its a great time to let out a cheer

I still have belief in Santa

That he comes at night and throws gifts through chimneys

And when we wake up in the morning

There are so many gifts under our Christmas trees

The rumpled paper, sits on the floor,waiting to be thrown

As we tear open the gifts, to see what's behind the wrapping

And share the excitement with my sister

I wonder, when Santa gave the gifts, for I never heard bells ringing

Poem 186 - Happy December

Step out of the door

See the ground covered with snow

Oh! Christmas has come!

Poem 185 - The boat of life

As the boat of life goes on, every person grows

We learn something every day

The boat of life might have a few problems

But it fights till the last piece of wood, breaks away

The boat of life teaches us things that might be good

But you can't tell if the boat of life is taking you in the right way

The boat of life might have to face a few storms

But still it takes them as a challenge, and alive it does stay

So, why not like this boat

Take every problem like a challenge

And learn to respect and forgive

Instead of taking revenge

Poem 184 - Christmas is around the corner

Am I dreaming a fairy tale or is this true

December has come, and Christmas is near too

Waiting for Santa Claus to give us presents

Almost forgetting it is given by our parents

Eating sweets and of course singing songs

Feeling like it's a new year and correcting all your wrongs

Oh! How we wait for Christmas to come

The month of December can never be glum

I look at the Christmas tree

There it is standing, decorated and happy

Waiting to be crowded by gifts in a few days

There in the dining room the Christmas tree lays

Christmas, Christmas I can't wait anymore

In fact I am expecting Santa Claus to knock on the door

Christmas, Christmas you are just a week away

But still I miss you every single day

Poem 183 - Happy B'day Dad!!

Dad, You are really great

To wish you, I couldn't wait

You really are my superstar

And awesome you really are

Happy Birthday dear dad

Together so much fun we've had

I love you so very much

That I can't explain the amount in English or Dutch

-Gaurang Rao

This is the poem I gave my dad on his birthday

Poem 182 - Happy B'day Sis!!

Happy Birthday dear sis

The badminton and rummy days I do miss

Mow as you turn sixteen years old

I've realized you are much more valuable than gold

On your face keep that beautiful smile

And in front of the mirror don't do too much style :)

It's almost a habit for us to fight

But at the end everything is alright

It's great to have you with me

And I got you without paying any fee

Wish you loads of happiness and luck

And in your life you should never get stuck

-Gaurang Rao

This is the poem I gave my sister on her birthday

Poem 181 - Sometimes I wonder

Sometimes I wonder - why this earth is gray and not green

Sometimes I wonder, how the Earth gets more polluted unseen

Sometimes I wonder, how the clouds move in front of my eyes

Sometimes I wonder, how god controls the Earth from above the skies

Sometimes I wonder why there are more black clouds than white

Sometimes I wonder isn't it time to reunite

Sometimes I wonder, why is this earth so gray

Sometimes I wonder, can we change what can be our last day?
