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.

ReplyDeleteAt 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.
