MOTHER

Mother is a mirror, which reflects beauty

Mother is an image of duty

Her heart is full of love

Like God”s heaven above.

She gives me courage when I am low

Due to the trouble caused by my foe

She walks beside me fast or slow

And thus she makes my heart glow.

She is ready to care and share

When sorrow makes luck unfair

She can be trusted as a best friend

When heartbreak seems to bring to an end.

Everything about her is so charming

She would never ever think of our suffering

She burns herself to give us light

When days seem to be darker than night.

Her love and affection

Make God”s importance a question

And it becomes impossible to trace

The difference between mother”s love and God”s grace.

OUR CAT LILY

In our house at Kathmandu Valley

There is a cat called Lily

She is very nice cat

Always likes to sit on mat.

Her fur is smooth as silk

She loves to drink milk

My sister gives her rice

But she likes to catch mice.

She always steals milk

Even it is covered with silk

If I play with a ball

She takes it and goes to hall.

When our dog chases her

She wants to take his fur

Our cat is really lucky

Her kittens have a friend named Puppy.

I WISH

I wish I were a fairy

Flying up so high

Up in the blue sky

Flying very high.

I would roam around the world

And sit upon cloud

Then I would be so happy

And would forget to cry.
