The mango tree gave me fruits and shades. <br />I was sad when I left. <br />The jack tree gave me fruits and shades. <br />I was sad when I left. <br />Likewise were a few more trees <br />That gave me different fruits and shades. <br />There’re trees having given me only shades. <br />I was sad when I left them in sequence. <br />Each sensation was punctuated by a stroke. <br />Each parting gave me a heart break. <br />Unions beget joys and partings, sorrows. <br />Sorrows follow because joys preceded. <br />The one who sticks to one love is unfortunate. <br />19.11.2000, Pmdi<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-many-joys-as-there-are-sorrows/
