A Boy

by Preeti Panjwani
(Raipur , Chhattisgarh, India)

Once there was a boy
his name was joy
he always prayed to god
he has a dog


he loved playing with toys
once he fought with bad boys
they beat him badly
he cried so loudly


no one was there to help him
he jumped in a lake and swim
once there was a boy
his name was joy
