The Village Home..


Sweet is the village home
With the overhanging trees 
With the open well on the east
With the kitchen adjacent to the well..

The coconut trees giving shade 
The Jack fruit and the mango trees
Decorating the land beside
The peacocks roosting on the trees

The red Mangalore tiles
Giving protection from the sun and the rain
The green chillies and the bananas 
The drumstick tree and the climbers

Ginger and Curry leaf tree
The Coccinia and the Turkey berry
Plants and climbers
Giving all the vegetables in-house

The long verandahs 
The corridors
The wooden stairs
The large dining hall

It is not just a home 
But a life itself
With nostalgic memories
Which will never die at all...

The house that has seen 
Various happy moments
Various sad events
Which has seen birth and death

It is not just a home
But a life itself
With nostalgic memories
Which will never die at all.....
