Having Children Is The Contented Wealth! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Having Children Is The Contented Wealth!



Having children is the contented wealth!
…If any men who have lot of wealth and rich,
Even If they are renowned and glorious,
…And whatever they have to add to their wealth,

Are they considered to be much better and contented?
…than having children whose lotus flower - like hands
that poke and stir up the tasty foods;
…and the blushed mouth that smells like nascent flower?
