I am Janaki whose name, 
can be heard and sung, 
in Ramayana as the better half.
I am the baby, 
who was digged out, 
and enthroned in Mithila.
I am the bride, 
for whom Lord Rama, 
bowed his arrow.
I am the mother, 
of little crouncha birds, 
who questioned their father.
I am the woman, 
who accompanied the half, 
and detained by the half, 
in the same wild forest.
I am the woman, 
who ensnared agni, 
to prove the chastity.
I am the woman, 
who embraced mother Earth
with tears for dignity.

I am Janaki

Grand old mango tree
I was a small seed
sleeping under the soil. 
I was alone and weary
and expects new friends;
but, my hope was in vain. 
I slept for hours near the path. 
When the rain came, 
I was awakened from my sleep, 
and leaves sprouted from me.
Sun came and golden fruits arose.
Years gone and I became, 
the grand old mango tree, 
which gave you yellow fruits.
I nourished the little kids, 
with my sweet smelling fruits
and cool lovely breeze.
