Up on the wall in a child’s room,
There hanged a thingy called kite.
As the darkness started to loom
Grumpy was he that night.

That’s norm one may say.
But, he thought he should fly above all
Freely as a bird in a spring day
Instead of being stuck on a wall.

As the child fell asleep
The kite had an idea in mind.
Weren’t it a slumber deep
The idea would be the best of its kind!

He was waiting for the right moment
Until he, too, fell asleep.
He dreamed he became one of the intelligent
And gained his freedom in an audacious leap.

Jumping down from the wall,
The kite sneaked out of the room.
With no trouble at all
His idea started to bloom!

Up in the air he went
Having fun in the spring.
What an exciting moment
For a kite free with no string!

There came the countryside
Where hills rolled up and down,
Mountains and clouds would never divide.
What a splendid world full of fun!

Where Mockingbirds were gossiping on the tree
Spreading rumors of the season
And squirrels running around care-free,
Enjoying here there nuts and raison.

Where tickseeds were decorating meadows,
Cows grazing and ducks swimming in a pond.
Where parents were chatting under tree shadows
While kids were playing around.

As the kite touted freely
To himself he thought:
“A Joy I have found finally
Didn’t cost that much of a lot”

“Rules are for the fool
And strings for the weak.
Never be content, but be cool!
Freedom takes naught but a tweak.”

Be smart as the kite may
Cool as he could be
That wasn’t his day
Grumpy again was he!

What was going wrong?
Shortly one will see.
A thunder broke the happy song
And winds ruined the spree.

As hard as his wings could pump,
The kite couldn't stay afloat.
Finally he crashed into a slump
Like an old rugged coat.

Over was the worst.
Yet, the worse has just emerged.
Rain was hallowing in burst.
The intelligent kite had been submerged.

Torn to pieces as the muddy water prowled,
The kite started to shout:
“What a hell of the world,
Help, help, help me out!”

So desperate was he
His shout awaked the child
Who pulled strings in hurry
As he yawned and smiled.

“Lucky was that only a dream
I am still alive.
Strings are more than they seem
A lesson I’ve learned of life”

“Strings keep one strong.
Fearing of Lord makes one smart.
Life will be a sweet song
When one keeps His word in heart”
