Relationship. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

Some relationships come
along with birth and marriage,
some others commence
in course of life.
No body is born
as friend and foe, per se,
they are products of
harmony and strife.

Useful money is that
what is in our wallet,
Readily available strength
is what is in our hand.
Relations are those
that support us
when our luck is bad.

Good luck invites abundant
friends and relations.
But only adversity tests and
gives us the correct lessons.

A big stone delinked from
the mountain loses its identity,
erosion and weathering convert
it into very small sand grains
Similarly a leaf detached from the tree
is trodden by many legs and
never gets attached again.
Like wise delinking from true
and good relations in our
good times may welcome Bane.
