Another Land Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Another land

How can I forget?
As you sealed my fate
Leaving me behind to face cruel world
But while walking I firmly held your hand

Since mother had left earlier
And there was no one to take care
I was still not aware of mother
As I had not seen her

You were at the helm of affairs
And ran house in order
With no complaint from my side
I was left not alone to decide

But you too took away my childhood
And I was left to wonder in neighborhood
With no cloths in order and hairs flying
I was standing at corner and crying

I lost my beautiful dream
And you were captain off team
Now I was left alone to drive
And surely hold all cards to survive

So I feel dejected
As you had departed
For another land
And here I was struggling to find real friends
