Ruskin Bond
Of you we are so immensely fond
Every year in May, on your birthday we pray
May your life be smooth, your writing helps us soothe
The Dun we left behind, our memories you rewind
Of the rosy rhododendron or the woody scent of the deodar
That’s etched our childhood minds, to which our soul firmly binds
Every word you pen down adds a jewel to the crown
The description of nature’s simple things
Of the Garhwal life musings
Your life is an inspiration of the small wonders
An attitude to hold on without surrenders
With the ‘Lone Fox Dancing’
The musical bells in our hearts keep ringing
