Why can’t I be?

A Poem

One evening I was depressed,

And was walking in a lonely path

Suddenly, the wind blew up the dry

Leaves fallen on the ground

Swirled and took them to the sky

It was magic and wonderful

Seeing the dry leaves dancing

In front of my eyes

Then a thought crossed my mind

Why can’t I be like the wind,

Which had lifted the fallen

Leaves from the ground

And made them to touch the sky!

Why can’t I help those who have

Fallen from the grace,

Those who have failed

And those who are left behind,

Help them to find their lost hope

And bring back the smile to their face.
