Family Tradition Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

India is rich with family traditions
Joint family is an age old attraction
Each one is looked after well with care
Even children are well looked after

The daughter is taken special care
Some of the things she will never dare
Night time venture is totally forbidden
Even they are taken care of proper education

They are considered as honor for family
She is considered as blessing from almighty
Not only is her existence considered holy
But equal to that of sacred deity

She is entertained best with her husband
Both are respected and considered as part or friend
Each member of the family may think of their welfare
Such is position for daughter and daughter in laws too

When daughter departs after marriage
She is blessed with by group of all ages
Similar treatment is given to daughter in law
When she enters home and allowed

Religion and customs are well looked after
They are the basis for their belief and shelter
They will care not to violate in any form
The continuation is well sought and fully informed
