Plate was full with delightful dishes
Served by the lovable hands
Kept in front of one who
Couldn't enjoy the meal so delicious.
Burp was heard somewhere nearby
every eyes followed the burp
Saw a hungry man eating leftovers
Mouthful with teasing appetite and
tears burping in his contented eyes!

Both sides of the coin are finely penned in this excellently crafted poem. On one side, food is plentiful but the person eating it couldn't enjoy it. On the other side a poor man is eating leftovers and enjoying every mouthful, with tears of gratitude in his eyes, as he burped feeling fully sated. Super-wonderful poem, very inspiring, which I enjoyed reading very much. I learned a lot from reading it and I,  thank you for sharing, Geetha.
