A Letter To Feel Better

Dear relatives,

Soon must come an occasion
For all of us to come together
As we can have great pleasure
By enjoying the presence of all

That chance is eagerly awaited
God only knows when it will arise
How many marriages are seen!
How many lovely moments we had!

Being in a very large family
Is in itself a great blessing
Especially if all are fine
That is the greatest boon

Old students meet one day
Like that if we create a time
Surely we can be with all
But, that is I feel a day-dream

All men are busy with career
Women are busy with duties
Old people are no doubt weak
God alone must give an answer

But, all are of course healthy
That is the sweetest news
Let there be birth of only joy
And let us pray for that state

Elders must be visited by us
Youngsters must visit others
Share your joyous moments
Using the sophisticated ways

Some relatives may abruptly leave
Hearing the call of the Almighty
But, please stay with us kindly
By taking care of your health

You are to us very important
Your presence gives us joy
Your guidance we ever seek
For ever be in our company

My dear relatives, I thank God
For having given me your relation
Your kindness alone is sufficient
I need nothing from anyone extra.

Yours affectionately,

M V VENKATARAMAN
