Shade

One fine morning I took out my Old Car,
Drove around merrily and went very Far.
But Oops, my Car broke down,
Far away from busy Town.

Sun was shining overhead,
Its scorching heat made me sweat.
I searched around and found a Mango Tree,
Sat under its Shade and felt a bit free.

Another day I was in the middle of Thar,
(The Great Indian Desert)
I was betrayed again by my old Car.
Any guesses, the tree for shelter I found,
It was a Tall Date tree, with nothing around.

I found no Shade, my worries didn’t fade.
A tree so Tall, does not give pleasure at all.
Its better to be humble than be Tall,
Live a Life such that, it helps all.
