A Few of My Favourite Things

Of what use

Is this world to me

Without my mother's smile.


Of what use

Is this world to me

Without my father's naivety.


I do not want a world

Without my sibling's shoulder

To cry on.


I do not want a world

Without my chum's tete-a-tete

That delights and chastens.


Of what use

Is this world to me

Without Socrates and Maharshi.


Of what use

Is this world to me

Where feelings are unexpressed.
