A humble request to all sons

A humble  request   to all sons

(I  read an English write up about this by  my friend  Sri Devanathan Srinivasarangan based on a telugu  poem. I liked it and am presenting it  in the form that I want  with grateful thanks to my friend)

 

Mom carries  you for nine months,

Dad carries you for twenty five years,

You keep Mom  in the Front  and Dad at the back

Mummy works   day and night without pay,
dad pays   all he earns   to the family,
You keep Mom in the Front  and Dad  at the back

Mummy cooks    all that family wants,

With all   groceries that   Dad buys,

You keep Mom in the Front  and Dad  at the back

Your  Mummy has  an almirah full of Saris and dresses,

Your dad  has few cloths in a   corner  of shelf,

You keep  Mom in the Front  and Dad  at the back

Your mummy  has  several ornaments made of Gold,

Youd Dad  has one dhothi  with gold coloured border,

You keep Mom  in the Front  and Dad  at the

Mom buys cheaper Sari  during festivals  when times are hard,

Dad never   even thinks  of the cloth store  at that time 

You keep Mom  is in the Front  and Dad  at back

When you call from usa  you talk to your Mom,

But when time is over, you say  , next time to Dad,

You keep Mom in the Front  and Dad  at the back

All dads  are  at back  , because  they  are,

The back bones  of the family and due to them

All of us are able  to stand  erect and straight

And So please  honour  Dad   and Mom equally well
