Words Of Wisdom 2 Poem by Somanathan Iyer

Listen to any one when something is said
Come not to conclusion on what is heard
Apply your mind on all the pros and cons
Truth prevails and finally wisdom triumphs!

A parent need not be elated on mere
birth of a child, when that child is showered
with laurels for excellence for any deed
That is the moment of a parent for real elation!

Not a great deal to reciprocate
anyone from whom one received favors
such is the real human he who helps
a person who caused immense harm!

Along with prosperity arrive a hoard
Of friends and relatives as is
A pond when filled with rain water
houses thousands of frogs and crabs!
