Who Am I?

Am I the same little boy, who got up to play
With mud in the cold winter mornings?
Or am I the one who sat on my brother’s shoulders
Watching him take care of sheep as they grazed
The almost barren lands in the small village?
Or am I the one who jumped around in the little hut
While my mother and sisters cleaned it up?
Or am I the one who sat in the shade of a huge banyan tree
Watching my father carrying loads of bricks to fill up tractors?
Or am I, am I . . .

No, I am the same little boy who wept for
His parents late into the night.
Growing up to find a new home as paradise
On the outskirts of Tamil Nadu.
A place which holds so much values toward
Love, care, and responsibility.

A world which changes anyone entering it
Into someone who will uphold the greatest of virtues
Throughout their lives.

I am a 16-year-old boy
Who enjoys his friends
Who will never leave his side,
Who learns from teachers and aunties
Who never stop showing him the right path,
Who eats the tasty food cooked by the kitchen staff,
Who takes pride in growing up in a family
Who will always be there for him when he needs them.

I am a 16-year-old boy
Working very hard to get a 100% in everything he does.
I am Devaraj Kali
From the paradise we call Shanti Bhavan,
A haven of peace.
