A Little Mechanic... (written by Pakeeza Rizvi)

Image result for Little mechanic

In  his  tiny  eyes,

I  saw  a  little  glance  of  life,
His  innocent  face  reflects  his  poverty,
As  he  was  facing a great  storm  in  himself,
His  gloomy  voice  telling  me  a  legend  of  his  broken  dreams,
He  was  too  small  for  that  school,

A  little  mechanic  with  a  bag  of  tool,

His  childhood  spending  along,
Playing  with  screw driver  and  handsaw,
The  sun  molesting  him  through  his light,
Abusive  language  incises  his  feelings of  delight,
Brow beating  by  his  cruel  master,
He  was  too  small  for  that  disaster,
A  little  mechanic  with  a  lots  of  fears,

Every  evening my  bus  was  passing  near  his  workshop,
I  saw  him  and  he  smiles  as  he  was  happy  with  his life,
Besides  his  beautiful  smile,
i  was  reading  his  griefs  file,
Too  many  desires  alive,
How  much  he  was  brave,
Changes  his  face  like  a  wave,
May God  help  him  and  Save,
I  pray  for  him  everyday,
He  was  too  small  for  that aim,
A  little  mechanic  with  a  strong  faith,
