BUT I WAS WRONG

Bhatt Ketan 1965 (Rajkot)



I saw a boy was singing in a train,

I thought he begs from passenger of the train,

But I was wrong to understand the fact,

He taught me how to be happy when the situation is bad.

I saw a poor man, balloons on his hand,

I thought he wants his balloons to sell,

But I was wrong to understand the fact,

He was selling balloons with the breath.

I saw an old man one side of the road,

I thought he needs help for crossing the road,
But I was wrong to understand the fact,

He wants to show me my future and fact.
