A Small River Journey Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

The small wooden boat we used
To cross the river with strong flows
The wind cared not to disturb us
Saying they are children going to school
The small wooden boat that we used
Sailing for a long journey through river
The coconut palm leaves welcomed us
They provided the shades in scorching sun
The tender coconut they gave enough to drink
The elixir like sweet water for us
The kernel we ate with so much happiness
The fishes jumped here and there
Showing their own tactful talent of swimming
The waves gave a moving cradle like effect
Saying we are sorry dear ones in disturbance
The river is the way of happiness at all times.
