Sonnet: Our World When Young...

Those days were fine when children young, we were, And parents cared for us in all our needs; We came to know a world that was unfair; Yet, we were trained to sow only good seeds! A time then came when we were separate, With family of own, problems galore; We learnt to stay off vice and sins to hate; Though we were far better, we craved for more! What parents did, we could not equalise; Their performance remained always a feat! Our sufferings then, we try to visualise; Our former life was rather good and neat. O thank You God for parents wonderful; They toiled to make our lives so beautiful! ‘God bless our dear parents with heaven! ’ Most lovingly dedicated to our dear parents (late) Mrs. Stella and Antoniswami, Old Chungam, CBE By all their beloved children Copyright by Dr John Celes 19-10-11
