Dear And Friend Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

What can be gateway?
To have access in honorable way
Either trough exemplary word
Or service to mother land

The sacrifice is considered supreme
To lay down life is very extreme
They get the name of knighthood
Sacrifice for land is appreciated and understood

So it is mother and motherland
Both are dear and friend
So close to chest and with honor
Anybody would love his service to offer

“You are brave son” she once remarked
I was moved when such words she uttered
I was on short leave and was with her
She smiled with love and her words honored

Such mother is not among us
We were brought up with great thrust
It was supreme faith and trust
Today also we shed tears
