Family Life Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Family Life



Family life means helping others;
Caring the spouse means remaining with her;
Virtue means adopting oneself to norms;
Love is to tend relatives;
Wisdom is to understand idiots;
Relation is to keep words given;
Modesty means keeping lust private;
Righteousness means being unbiased;
Patience is to bear with enemies till the time comes.
[Based on an ancient Tamil poem 133 of Kalithokai]
