Renaissance

In our family;
Like bunch of a key;
Where we said,
Tradition is must;
Debates went about,
Cutting down a palm tree;
Whose fruits fell,
On our tiled-roofs;
Left them leaking,
Through many monsoons;
Elders said no for long,
All, in leakages, did prong;
It's, then, the youngsters stood together,
Cut it down and saved the houses dear...!

Christuraj, your environment sounds challenging, as it is here, 16 degrees upon wakening, but sun, thank goodness! most likely a bit warmer by you!
