THE LITTLE CHINESE BOY
google image
He saw only eleven cycle
Of color, fragrance, form that seasons gift
Before making a goodbye nod
To this unholy world
Where tooth, nail and blood
Are sharpening and spilling
He made sure to shower his Springs
Upon those in wait
Like him with dimmed hope of life
Now those organs of him
Will live and let a few breathe
For some more Springs
Ah the light stays......

..but the rain weeps. How moving this piece of yours is.
ReplyDeleteVery moving and meaningful ~ He lives in the hearts of many ~
ReplyDeleteWhat a touching poem this is, Sumana. This 11-year-old boy is a true hero. Not many people would have done what he did. His life will carry on without him, in other people. May they never forget his gift.
ReplyDeleteThis is a real act of kindness. I am glad his generosity will enable more to live and hope he inspires others to do the same. Thank you for this beautiful poem!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard for a parent to say good-bye to a child, but when the child lives on in others, there is at least a little light in the darkness of bereavement.
ReplyDeleteIt's so touching, Sumana! The little one has such conscience and responsibilities as human being before others....and the photo so rare, showing the appreciation of such unusual civil act ...~ thanks for sharing. xx
ReplyDeleteHow moving is the doctors' deep bow to the boy......what a touching event this poem describes so beautifully......your ending is exquisite....."ah, the light stays...."
ReplyDeletePerfect!

So moving and profound. I salute the boy, myself. A truly selfless act of humanity.
ReplyDeleteSuch giving should always be celebrated. Thanks for sharing this one.
ReplyDeleteCompassion is what lives on… beautiful Sumana.
ReplyDeleteIn this way one can live even after death... I salute the boy... nicely penned Sumanadi.. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo sad, his parents must have been devastated. And yet, he found a way to bring goodness from this sadness. Nicely done Sumana :-)
ReplyDeleteoh beautiful! what a beautiful way to say goodbye to the world... live through others!
ReplyDeleteSuch a noble act of courage and magnanimity of spirit. With so much darkness in the world these days, it brings to mind the verse from Isaiah 11:6 - "The wolf will live with the lamb . . . and a little child will lead them."
ReplyDeleteJust read about this boy yesterday. What a light he is and has left behind for all to see,
