DREAMS AND WEAVERS
                      THE TRUTH
                                                              Born in a state of India,
      Where is the Truth now?
                                                              Bought up there itself
      Is it alive or not?
                                                              There lived a girl,
      Some of us are helplessly looking for it
      around                                                  Who was afraid to express herself.

      But most of us have forgotten it and they               It might be because of the environment.
      say that they are not bound                             In which she grew.


      Stop! Stop! Let’s all …..                               She was taught to be elegant and decent

      Don't ignore this alert call.                           As the time flew.

      Take a pause,                                           She was quite creative in art,

      This reminder is not without a cause.                   People used to talk about her.

      Please look within                                      Saying, she would be like Picasso and make

      Truth is breathing under a thin skin                    a fine artist.


      Our own selfishness has blocked it                      No doubt she was an all-rounder, as
                                                              compared to others of her age.
      Help it to revive ..... Please don't quit.
                                                              But no wonder, she wanted to prove them
      It has proved its strength since ages                   right

      Don't ignore what has been engraved by                  And so, she set a goal not thinking twice.
      our divine sages.
                                                              Years from now, she sits down thinking,
      The Truth is actually as radiant as the Sun             regretting her choices,


      Don't let it fade otherwise it will be                  And wondering whether was it even her
      completely gone.                                        dream to be an artist,


                                                              Or she was just living up to other people's
                                          GRACE KAUR          expectations.
