Aadarsh- 1st Birthday

Aadarsh

You little boy with the most beautiful smile.

You enchant people with your countenance,

No one who sees you can remain aloof from you,

You have the patience to wait and then call out,

To the person who is not talking to you,

Murarilal? Yes indeed you are like Anand in the film Anand.

That person in the lift,

That stranger on the road,

That person too busy with himself,

Avoiding looking at you,

Can they be allowed to go away,without being greeted by you?

Impossible...

You have to make contact,

You have to call out,

Didn't Daddy always do that?

Didn't he always want to connect with the poorest of the poor,

That person sitting alone,

That person on the street,

That person who did not repay his kindness,

That person who was ungrateful,

That one who pestered him for help,but did not stop by to say thank you,

Are you going to have this trait?

Will you befriend people justlike that,

Go out of your way to help people,

Not expect a thank you or gratitude,

Just spread happiness?

If that is all you want to do,then,

Go on take the legacy forward,

That was the wealth that my dad had,

That is your heritage,

That is what you have received in inheritance.

Move forward little bundle of joy,

your shoulders are strong,

your smile is mesmerising,

your face is brilliant,and,

Your future is enlightened.
