REAL  LIFE-SAVER

 

 

          Just because your brother and sister

                      are born in line with you,

          do not expect them

                      to be supportive relatives;

          For have you not observed

                      an inherited disease

          turning a killer

                      although born with one?

                                (Do not be disheartened

                                            over the truth I have set out)

                                for there are still those

                                            not linked with you in birth,

                                who come to you in succour

                                            in your hour of need,

                                even as the medicinal herb

                                            growing on a distant hill

                                is drawn towards you

                                            as cure for your illness…

 

 

[Tamil poem from Moodhurai by  AVVAIYAR (12th century A.D)  rendered into English by Sage TGN]
