RESILIENCE AND LOVE

Minutely observed the baby, smiles,
Hot summer, parched soil, devastates,
Miles, females walk with a pitcher, fate,
The child in the waist laughs in its style, (1)

San shade of tree life searches, water,
Plough field paramount the season,
Rain inundates corn fields, a reason,
Fertile soil sowing paddies, enamor, (2)

Village pond to the brim, the moon,
Lily grows, blooms, ecstasy pervades,
Lotus waits, morning masquerade,
Bullock carts the ringing hear soon, (3)

Forgotten a thirsty summer festive,
Autumn knocks hearts irrespective,
Cakes and sweets, boiled rice, new,
Agrarian festival offered a faith view, (4)

Baby swims in the pool, running wild,
Careful and concerned mother mild,
The mirth, happiness, and hospitality,
Village life, infectious, admire quality, (5)

The aroma and smoke from cottages,
Not gold, jewels, and diamond craze,
A living form of coexistence is amicable,
Farmers pray to the Lord, effort capable, (6)

The city is far, allures nature, verdant,
Village folk, their legacy lives vibrant,
Unaware of luxury comfort and ego,
Visible innocence viable loving agog, (7)

A mother, her smile, child, the waist,
Resilience and love the mural, attest,
Surviving in modern times requires,
Balances the complexity of life aspire. (viii)
