ODE TO THE LIGHTING GUIDE

Once a while in a far away land
Lived a handsome clever lad
Shortage of fine things he had
But was never for once he sad.

His mother he called his 'lighting guide'
A person who never left her family's side
During rains, she guided her kids with a lit stick
To walk through muddy waters and not get sick....

20 long years passed with turmoil
Winds changed and so did the soil
The lad was now well educated
Nothing for his family was overrated!

So many years hence the lad remembered
Every passed hard day he encountered
Journey to barren city was his homage
But the 'lighting guide' is a fresh image!

The lad had learnt it long ago
Though days are easy now, hardships may come
Fathers build house, mothers make home
That's why he never had 'The Male ego!!'
