My Great Grandfather Poem by Swarnapali Liyanage

Never gone to school
cannot read or write
my grandfather great

How weather changes
avelanche, sea breeze
he explains all facts

In my life time
I have never won
playing with him chess

Once we lost in
dark dense forest
found way without compass

He perceives great know-how
all around the Earth
from here to universe

I was amazed by his wisdom
learned a big contrast
with my 'intellectual' head

My last vist he cleared this paradox
humbly he smiled and told
'live with nature, nature gives you all'
