Parents Come Back Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Parents-Come back
Sunday,16th May 2021

Neither we felt botheration
not got any sign
so long as they were alive
and lived up to our expectation

they responded to our need
and paid to heed too
we never felt starved
rather stood obliged

it was their future planning
and we went on winning
at each angle
and caused no problems

they had high praising words
as if spoken from the lord
we followed their advice
and promised never to ignore

now we feel their absence
a genuine love's essence
now we feel tense
and remember each sentence spoken by them

can this happen?
can they be sent back from heaven?
if that happens so!
we shall go by the proverbial saying

even their blessings in a dream will do
and we shall go
by the advice rendered
and surrender to their wishes
