The Person Who Arranges And Offers Food! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Person Who Arranges And Offers Food!

Rating: 5.0


The person who arranges and offers
…Food without any other variable indifferent

Mentality to the passerby travelers,
…Food for the tiresome persons

who carried pretty heavy loads on their shoulders,
…Food for those in the bed with ailments,

Food for the near and dear relatives,
…Food for the deities who safeguard us

and Food to the people coming from adjacent places,
…will live securely and safely in his home!

நடப்பார்க்கூ ணல்ல பொறைதாங்கி னார்க்கூண்
கிடப்பார்க்கூண் கேளிர்க்கூண் கேடின் - றுடற்சார்ந்த

தானகத்தே வாழ்வான் றக.71 ஏலாதி
