Bring Back Home-Parents Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Bring back home-parents
Sunday,6th June 2021

Never betray the trust
and stay
with the old bond
once parents were so fond of you

don't send them to old age home
but welcome
in your mansion
to preserve the bond and relation

how can you be so insensitive?
and subjective
for hurting their sentiments
when they needed you most!

mother could tolerate you for nine months
always prayed for your health and calm breathing
father stood by her side
and kept you up at any cost

why are they pushed outside the home?
they brought you up to young hood
still you have not understood about the sacrifice!
and made them flee another premise called 'old age home'

will you be expecting the same treatment?
as you presented to your old parent
sent them away from your ancestral home
and not willing to bring them back and welcome

your cry shall not be heard
their cursing word shall push you backwards
you shall never be happy throughout
your unkind gesture shall always be talked about
