Ambiliyammaavan Poem by Drkgbalakrishnan Kandangath

Ambiliyammavan-drkgb
==================
Our Uncle Moon!
(Brother of Mother Earth):
How sweet the concept!
My haunting reminiscence!
(To day my birthday,
Lakshmi has sent the card.)

We are in Darwin this time;
To celebrate my 68th B’Day;
O I’m getting older;
But our Uncle Moon debonair;
(My mother too never gets old!)
My mind too is budding!

Here at Darwin, I feared,
My uncle might not recognize;
This foreign nephew;
But, o my loving uncle,
You are speaking Malayalam!

You bestow the cool caressing;
The patting affection on me;
I feel, you too accompanied us;
From Keralam to North Australia!

Note-
Ambiliyammavan=Uncle Moon
In Keralam, children consider the moon
As their loving uncle.
