Joint family
Yearning to grow up
Emulating the elders
Dominating out thoughts
Future security sought
Living the present forgot
Enjoying it for all it's got
Not realizing it wont last
Very soon to become the past
Joint family gods gift
Many people definitely a rift
Equality and equanimity taught
Joy's of oneness
Differences lost
Ideal place for study
Educate you people ready
Characters you observe
Realise in life you have to deserve
Multiple personalities
Varying modalities
Adjust your sensibilities
Respect the formalities
Elders taught respect
Live with love and be honest
Same treatment for all
Trained you for the world at large
Everything done with passion
Learnt many a lesson
Guidance provided
Character developed
Concept of sharing
Under the sun everything
Developing the spirit
For you to learn it
Future arrived
Miss the past
God gave you all
Grateful that we have memories to fall
Men worked hard
Women sacrificed for what
Your life in their heart
No one set apart
Newspaper and Washroom
All in one bedroom
Emotional connect
Most important in life
Didn't realise it then
One in a million
A chance to grow
In that household
Where oneness was the foundation
Happiness the highest education
Seeking outside
Biggest mistake
For some to make
What's given no choice but to take
Family the essence
Filled with everyone's presence
Taking into account preference
Satisfying every member
Each act a penance
