Just like his
stories and novels, Ruskin’s poems, too, are simple and engrossing. As we all
know that Ruskin Bond epitomizes children’s books in India, and we have been
reading his stories since early days. Well, did you ever try reading poems and
verses written by him? Probably no, because publishing houses take no interest
in publishing poem books. For them publishing is a business, well our hero
Ruskin writes poem for fun and children.
We have
brought forward some of his best poems – they are for all ages, alike. This poem underlines, in short, the value of
life. We must live up to it by appreciating everything that we have till death
comes. We must appreciate the Mother Nature and take note of the children
passing by us.
Whether by
accident or design,
We are here.
Let’s make
the most of it, my friend.
Make
happiness our pursuit,
Spread a
little sunshine here and there.
Enjoy the
flowers, the breeze,
Rivers, sea,
and, sky,
Mountains and
tall waving trees.
Greet the children
passing by,
Talk to the
old folk. Be kind, my friend.
Hold on, in
times of pain and strife:
Until death
comes, all is life.
By Ruskin Bond
