A Nice Experience Poem by V Neelakandaru Bhattathiri

Nice it is to see you again
In good health and healthy disposition
After a lot of sufferings from illness
Oh, friend, I grieved at your sufferings
That made your mind and body shrivel which
Seemed beyond repair to me and friends
Your mind won over the ailing body
More than the work of medicines,
The strength of mind improves health.
The recovery gave joy to me and friends
Gave us happy company soon,
A presence, soothing and lively,
A true friendship always makes one happy
In times of stress and strain of life
