My Dear Poverty
Mahipat Singh 1973 (Uttarakhand)
Poverty you are my real friend
You gave me love and pen
I can never grow without your help,
You taught me many things alone!
How to grow, how to earn
How to work, how to have fun
Become a good human with love and peace,
Having kind heart with power to be brave,
Honesty and dedication are my inner beauty!
You gave me knowledge in fertile mind
Live alone happily like a Cactus
Evergreen in sunlight and draught
Poverty you are my real friend, live long ahead!
No dream and joy without you,
No friends and love with others
Because you are always my favorite
No dear will come beside you!
Where to invest penny, there is no peace
What to earn, no more desires,
Why feel hungry, know answer is there
What, who stolen no causes are here
Because you are here, you are there!
My dear poverty, love you forever,
You keep cool mind, no fancy shows are there,
I earn genuine human power and virtue,
No more spaces are there, to desire more love layer
Like to peel things for here,
Fear and honesty are tools yours,
You keep always happy me my dear!
