He Is Not Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

No doubt he seemed harsh
But very kind at heart
He did not ignored us
But had great love with trust

He used to boost before friends
That he sees happiness and golden end
When he may be no more
The children will do something more

He was sure of his up keeping
He never kept us weeping
Gave us everything we wanted
We found him always happy and elated

Each parent may want the same
They privately confide and claim
That their children are doing extremely well
They have every reason to raise the head and tell

Even though he remained dominant character
Family was really looking after him
He was never given any kind of tension
We had such understanding with many reasons

Today he is not among us
But we do not miss
As he has brought us up to meet any challenge
Else we could have failed to manage
