never leave the hand

In the race to survive

To make millions and thrive

Like ants, we do scurry

Always in a hurry

There is no time for family

Though time, we find, for friends

There’s time to join the rat race

And follow the latest trends

What good will it do

If tomorrow you will rue

The time that flew so fast

That present turned to past

Value the people you love

Show them that you care

Ask them what they need

Ask them how they fare

Your family is the root

Of which you are the fruit

So never leave the hand

That raised you in this land
