TELLING STORIES

TELLING STORIES !

Please don’t tell me stories with kings ,
queens and knights in it ,
And of fairies dancing in the silvery hours
of moonlit night!
But tell me those stories which can make
someone forget their hunger pangs !
Which would make hope blossom anew, –
In a heart gone barren like the desert land!
Tell me stories which will quench the thirst
of a parched soul ;
About healing the diseased and making
them whole!
Stories which will draw us closer in a
spirit of cordiality,
Despite our many differences and diversity !
Stories, which will make us all believe in a
single faith called Humanity!
– Raj Nandy
Dedicated to Bob Blackwell of S Africa , who had
written on this theme !
