Let Us Cry

Darshana Thapa

I caught a glimpse of stars today,
when I was a passerby
along the banks of river I quickly made a wish and looked up at the sky.
Thinking stars had dropped
down from the sky so high.
I wished for everyone one to cry with full of tears in
our eye to fill the land so dry.
Create oceans, lakes and seas
never to let them dry.
If millions of us will cry won’t we be able to make a difference?
Skies filled with swift flowing river,
oceans with moon and stars,
mountains with sun rising and shooting stars to fulfill our wish every time.
Never allow drought and famine
appear and everyone was blessed with prosperity, happiness and joy.
Paint the rivers of your tears,
violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, and make a wish to create a rainbow high up in the sky with feelings mingled of millions that will never die and live till eternity.
Just make a wish and draw
trees, plants, animals, bird alive, and all the worldly creatures stabilize, to save our Earth and never to destroy.
Unity in diversity is powerful, gives strength and courage, and holds up the sky.
