Unmindful of
the cries of a new-born baby girl
left among the shrubs
on the street-side
by her mother
almost all the passers-by
never even took care
to listen to the
helpless cries of the baby girl
like a cry in the wilderness
walked down the street.
A middle-aged woman
who happened to pass by the street
spotted the baby among the
shrubs crying for
the proximity of her mother.
The mother in the middle-aged woman
her heart beating fast
her eyes filled to the brim
took out the baby
held her close to her chest
walked along the street
and took the baby to her home.
Her husband waiting for
her in the portico
looked askance at her and she unraveled
the entire story to him
and stamped out the
sad feeling of being a
childless couple….
