Poem: Swan in the swimming pool

Gracefully, a swan gets into the water,
It flaps its white wings and moves elegantly;
It has a beautiful face,
and moves around effortlessly,
in the blue water.

Gliding this way and that,
it intensifies the beauty of the pool.
Everyone is admiring the swan's ballet,
and the swan is performing so elegantly
that people are awe struck!

The swan is completing its final move with
an extraordinary swish of the legs
and leaves the pool.

When the audience ask the swan its name,
it doesn't speak - because, it is a brain injured swan.

Mommy is the swan's voice.
Mommy says, the swan's name is Sai -
and, remember, this swan will not stay brain injured for long.
This swan is the pioneer swan.
This swan will speak and when it does,
its speech will be as elegant as its dance.

Saying this mommy smiles.
The swan smiles back.
