A poem for Kids (in Tamil) by Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati

chinna chinna velayaam Small, small tasks,

panna vittal kavalayaam If you don't do them they worry you. periya periya velayaam Big, big

projects,

pauna vital kavalayaam If you don't do them they worry you.

paunumbodu kavalayaam As you do them, you might worry;

paunu vittal kavalayaam After you've done them you might worry.

pinna yenna pannalaam Then, what can you really do?

chinna chinna velayaam Little, little tasks,

periya periya velayaam Big, big projects,

chinna chinnaga pannalaam Can all be done a little bit at a time.
