Stepping Stones

Photography by Khushboo

Loved the

Game of

Stepping stones

Hopping and Jumping

Evading the Crocodile

Ready to pounce

But that was

Childhood

It was easier

Not scary

Now

Crocodiles are everywhere

Waiting to swallow

Whenever

Spirits are shallow

Finding strength

To uplift

Getting stronger

Day by day

To Rule…!!
