I Still Seek- -

Croak, croak Croaks the frog The sky is overcast With clouds Raindrops falling And forming puddles My friend tells The frog will come and take away your mother. See, how he calls. Oh frog, do this never Never take away my mother Oh she loves me She feeds me She sends me to school She tells me stories She cares me when I fall sick Oh frog, never Never take away my mother. I held my mother's hand Pleaded her to take me in her lap Ask her to hold me tight And cover me with her saree So that I can not hear When the frog croaks. My mother's assuring hand Caressed my head She sang me a lullaby Planted a kiss on my forehead Sat by my side till I fell asleep With my mother by my side Darkness thinned Fear vanished. Time has passed Years have gone by I have left mother for my new home Mother has gone frail, Still I seek her When I feel worn out She wipes away the worry With the ANCHAL of her saree.
