Don’t Expect When He Will Repay His Gratitude! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Don’t Expect When He Will Repay His Gratitude!



As the coconut tree standing firmly
and growing without tiresome steadily
offers the water it absorbed through its root
into the nuts at the top as sweet and fruit;

While you do the help to any person,
don’t expect when he will repay his
gratitude to you in turn - he will do his
best while you are in need and distress!
