Remember
the times of
sitting round
the fire place
on wintery
nights,
when,
between stories,
Grandma would
drop
a seed or two
of wisdom
to take roots
in times
to come,
like a memory
stick inserted
in the heart!
” Change with
time you will !
If ever, you feel
lost in the world,
a rootless soul,
all alone,
the stick of
memories,
of age old
values
precepts
and
practices,
reaped as
harvest
by toils of
generations
bygone,
will see
you home” !
Eroded by time
contours change,
ingrained
memories
only
remain
as
IDENTITY
of
people, stripped bare
by values
alien to the
Land !!
