                                                                                                                                                                                               I sit on a bench with my sister.
                                                                                                                                                                                               Watching ups and downs of a seesaw,
                                                                                                                                                                                               While, one flying in sky & other touches ground


                                                                                                                                                                                               For a moment I felt, if these were ups and downs of my life,
                                                                                                                                                                                               I had reached the height to pluck the stars,
                                                                                                                                                                                               All of sudden my other side companion vanished,
                                                                                                                                                                                               I fall down with a great cry.


                                                                                                                                                                                               I had an experience and realized,
                                                                                                                                                                                               That a trustworthy companion needed to play,
                                                                                                                                                                                               I asked my mom to accompany me, she did,
                                                                                                                                                                                               But she could make me happy for few years.


                                                                                                                                                                                               I was very upset when I lost her,
                                                                                                                                                                                               My dearest father came forward to support,
                                                                                                                                                                                               My joy had no boundaries, I was really enjoying,
                                                                                                                                                                                               All of sudden he collapsed and le  me alone.


                                                                                                                                                                                               There comes my loving sister to wipe my tears,
                                                                                                                                                                                               We relished the joy of ups and downs in life,
                                                                                                                                                                                               One day I realized, she has grown up
                                                                                                                                                                                               and needs a partner for her life
