Birthday Remembrance. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Torrential rain and flood in river
Undulant itself the water in flood
Inside of a tiled roof home I born
Making discomfort to all in flood.

The water was going high and to evacuate
The mother and child they better planned
In a country boat small in size crossed
To a highest place of land for safety

The child knows little the infant stage
Mother told the story in later life
The man who rescued the child with cradle
And took it to the little boat in care.

It was a heavy rainy day anyway
Flowing water from nearby river to home
People feared on their life safety
Mother favored a decision to evacuate

After a while the flood water gone very high
The maximum levels of flood it crossed for
The little tiled roofed home perished
By a fall of a coconut tree nearby uprooted.

The mother and little child reached in safety
But mother is no more here to read the writing
Or endorse the facts and fiction narrated
But the witness the nature ever there
The nearby old house plastering there is sign
The sign of the flood water that crossed the limit./
