Each day as I walked to the market
I would see her holding a bunch
of flowers that would sway and say to me
why don’t you get us and relieve poor her..
She would request me, run around me
to buy a few from her, if not a bunch
Those days I could not ever sense
her need to sell them to feed poor her…
Perceptions 
As we think of buying fancy stuff, most people only need what to eat to live
Truly said George…
Oh, this breaks my heart
This is so true when we are young and when we do not know much about such children who sell to make an innocent living…
this is true but you ave brought this troubling truth to the attention of your readers and THAT is what matters
Reblogged this on Perceptions.
You always looks world in different perspective sir. The life of flower has some meaning as it is helping her we said to be humans……
Thank you Subba. The flowers have a purpose even after they are plucked. They entice the buyer in us with their perfume and colors. The little girl goes on repeating how much your single purchase means to her. But sometimes we at a younger age just pause and then walk on without noticing and paying heed to her repeated pleas and that brings us to the question, who among the two is really poor?
That’s a deeper question, I usually don’t bargain while buying with peoples selling on roadside, but sometimes we can’t believe all of them. I usually having the habit of buying with ladies who simply do their work calmly. But what an amazing thing is most of the time if I ready to pay the amount what they say, they themselves tell enough or you take one more. God is living in that kind of people.
Poor or rich really can’t decided by money I feel, according to those single ladies who told to me take extra are definitely rich. Because they gave to me I get from them.
Very well replied to the question with examples.
Sad to see such small children selling and we need to pay attention to such a sale. Glad they are not begging but sad they are not studying.
Meena.
Yes Meena. Life is not a bunch of flowers for everyone.
A message that is worthy for a generation that does not mind throwing away good money at an expensive mall but think more than ten times to part with less than a fraction of that to these little children who bear the brunt of the weather as they sell their wares.
Thank you Pranitha. Glad to know your perspective.
