The Infant Warrior

Knocking on my door with his Russian self,

Wrapped in a blanket, the infant warrior.

Smiling through agony, banging the shelf,

Said, “Find my home, be my savior.”

Puerile I stood tall,

Doubting his innocence, overlooking his pain.

Demanding him to leave, I received the master’s call,

Stunned to silence, losing myself, realized I had made the same mistake again.

Signing to the rhythm of silence,

On the ridge, I aimed for him to reach.

An oath written on my heart so dense,

Carving his own shelter, I said I will teach.

Digging the snow swimming on,

He saw his home off the ulterior.

Giving his all, credence till wan,

Flying like a bird with joy so high, he reached home, the infant warrior.

Guess what. As he waved me goodbye, the master passed us by J

Well, often on incidents, you might give yourself credit but believe me, it’s him who makes everything happen.
