House Of Joy! Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

House Of Joy!

Rating: 4.8


The house full of just played toys, ,
Just fed bowls, just torn papers,
Newly added drawing to walls,
What a pleasure to eyes and souls,

kids are there in those houses,
Growing as inquisitive as they have to be,
Let them play in their own houses,
Don't control them in name of rules,

Young mothers! don't toil too hard to please,
All notorious oldies of the world,
Young Mum, Teach your children the morals to be bold,
Enjoy your life with your husband and kids,

Unkempt house is not a contagious eyesore,
When kids are growing to be warriors,
Unkempt heart is a real curse and a dumpsite,
When old and young are comfortable with.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The young mothers should be knowledgeable in developing the intelligence of their children. Some mothers are too bothered in the cleanliness of their home through disinfecting everything with harsh chemicals, which is very wrong and this action leads to lots health issues to their young kids, when they are young as well as after they grow up.

Mothers ignorance in scientific knowledge is the real reason for many health problems in the modern world..

House is the only place, where we can take little liberties! Children shouldn't be tortured in our eagerness to keep the house spic and span! But they should be gently taught the lessons of orderliness! Good write! !
