Treasures

Treasures held

in one's hand 

In not worthy 

for all

Be it Emeral Green

Ruby Red

& Golden Yellow

The Beauty of Leaves

or Gems

Bring joy to all

But Bliss to some

Who is in Awe of Nature...

At every turn & at every step

Treasures abound

They find!

Vannakam

Vannakam

Vannakam 

A gesture of Greeting

But most of all

A sign of Respect

An acknowledgment

I see you my fellow humanbeing

and how are you today?

When you bring a smile in response

the world become a better place

one person at a time

one smile at a time

so Yes....

Remember to bring you palms together

with a nod or a smile

say a heartfelt

Vannakam

(*Vannakam Dear Reader:This is Tamil 'Marabu/Custom

What Me & JC are doing is Vannakam in the Tamil Classical Dance/Bharatha Naatyam manner)

Sister - Sister

Sister- Sister

You go girl...

Smile and be merry

who cares of old 

White hair looks great

you own it proud!

 

Toast it with Vanilla tea

Real butter and chicken eggs

Organic is the way to go

than counting cholesterol

and waste the joy of days

lets have fun

and shake it

while we can dance!

Across LoveLane

 Across LoveLane

Traditions and Traits 

Intrinsically priceless bequeathed

From grandma to me

Across time -Space...

Ancestral ways of Jaffna cooking 

Scents waft from the back kitchen

Of our two story family house

Hundred and Ten across

Love Lane - Uduvil 'Doctor Veetu' amma,

Wife of the compassionate doctor --

SSR, the Surgeon Physician Consultant at Mulai

Hospital famed Healer beside Dr. Chacko --

To me, the now Dr. Amma and grandma

From my Grandma of Uduvil

Across Lovelane

Home-made Iddyappam

Still spun with joy

Shared with stories

Across Time and Space

Nevertheless Historic

Franklin or Uduvil

Of our mothers mothers who lived 

In our circa 1860s Ancestral house

Across LoveLane Uduvil

Philanthropic aristocracy, yet austere

I grew up in awe 

Watching my grandma 

An Uduvil Cambridge Senior grad

Humbly toil for family everyday praying

And we Pray that we

By God's Grace

Preserve their paths

Their living spirit, the verve

The ground their feet touched

Walls that echoed their Prayers

Be the knowledge source of Peace

With Lily blooms forever exemplary

Serve and inspire all

Generations to come!

I am my Mothers' Daughter.......
