I Was Child Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

I Was Child

Rating: 5.0


It brought me into tears
I remember vividly even though it is old by years
Many years before father has passed away
I had rushed from military base to home in any way

I was hardly 18 years old
So many stories were told
About parents when we used to gather
In recess hours or at the time of dinner

I grew up to be called mature
I was to act as somebody’s shelter
Two lovely kids were given by god
I was learning how to burden the load

It was arrival of third child
That almost made me blind
I had rushed home to be with wife
But that incidence reminded me about cruel age of knife

I cried almost to the top of voice
I was grief stricken and had no choice
It brought me to quiet sense
The death of child has to be counted as past tense

Exactly after 20 years of leaving home town
I had only mother and brother to own
Mother’s demise brought me to the knees
Now world did not belong to me

Yes I felt it as if I was child
She was source of strength and very much kind
I remember her shedding tears once
When I was leaving her for service at once
