Oh! My Child Poem by Narayanan Nair. P Perunthanam

Oh! my child, dear, don't be sad
as sadness makes our mind hard.
Think good, say good, and do good
since positive deeds bring us good.

Negative mood and deeds breed gloom
Gloom creates indigestion and stress
unhealthy body and the mental distress.
Oh! child, dear, be not a faded bloom.

When darkness block the way ahead
Be bold, Oh! my child, use your wisdom.
Widely read, dear, think, widen wisdom
don't be sad, be as battery to be recharged.
