I left back something, that have to be quick indeed,
Which the late & great gratitude towards
Thanks & thanks thousand times with smiles.

Father the pollen, provide the brand,
Mother the seed, produce the kind.
No bird without feather definite,
Group without leader seldom.

Home a dome in a mean,
Where bloom stream like dream,
Human early no costume & roof,
Yet tune of life in a mode of merry.

A man naked at past, with a wagon garments at last!
Porinju Veliath, who is someone, no one born as on.
'One who really, The great, The bright, The right at the century'
Why he mighty, peeks at his feet, claps across the map?
