Actor Deepika Padukone was only 12-year-old when she tried her hand at writing poetry for the first time. On Sunday, the `Piku` star took a stroll down the memory lane and shared the poem `I Am`, which she wrote when she was in 7th standard.
The poem read, "I am a child with love and care. I wonder how far the stars reach. I hear the rush of the waves. I see the deep blue sea. I want to be a loving child of God. I am a child with love and care. I pretend to be a blooming flower. I feel the soothing hands of God. I touch the mountains way so far. I worry if I am liked by all. I cry for the ones who need God`s tender touch. I am a child with love and care. I understand that life must end. I say you must work hard. I dream what I ought to dream. I try to do my very best. I hope I deserve the very best. I am a child with love and care. (sic)."
