The True Relatives Stay With Us During Our Sufferings! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The True Relatives Stay With Us During Our Sufferings!



The people who leave us while we become poor
are not true relatives; they are similar to the water
birds which leave the pond when it becomes dry!

The true relatives are those who stay with us
during our sufferings similar to the water plants
aponogeton, lily and nymphaea alba in that pond!

உண்மை உறவினர்

அற்ற குளத்தின் அறுநீர்ப் பறவைபோல்
உற்றுழித் தீர்வார் உறவல்லர் - அக்குளத்திற்
கொட்டியும் ஆம்பலும் நெய்தலும் போலவே
ஒட்டி யுறுவார் உறவு.17 – மூதுரை
