FABLE POEM – SOUR GRAPES

 

Once a fox, so tall and proud, strutted by a tree

Seeing big plump grapes dangling, he exclaimed’ Oh dear me!’

He jumped up high

Just of the grapes shy

He grumbled and tried again

No height he did gain

No such luck, I’m afraid

‘Oh why?’ he said

‘Those nasty troublesome grapes!’

‘Never mind, I can’t waste my time giving them my gape

They are probably sour anyway’

He stalked off, having had his say

So my friends, you now realize

Being not of enough size

The fox went away grumpily

Even though the juicy grapes were hanging on the tree

What we can’t have or do

We make excuses that aren’t true

We believe we are invincible and the best

But sometimes we fail when put to test

So people, it’s time to let go of your ego

The seeds of humbleness in your mind you must sow.

    At this very tender age this poet is talking about EGO.
    That is amazing.
    She has grasped the principle of life.The life we all live is nothing but Ego,Ego and Ego.
    Once one comes to know the basics of life that is Ego one has a very high potential to develop in to something which is beyond imagination of any individual.
    Started with small grapes and ends up in Ego that is very interesting.
    We wish her the best of life to come and we pray she goes on getting more godly blessings.
    Thank you so much
    God bless all
    His blessings.
