Forgive Me Poem by Jaishree Nair

Forgive me dear father
for dropping you into the ocean of tears
Leaving you alone to drown in its flood
burdened with the silence of the cemetery...

Forgive me dear mama,
for leaving you in eternal grief
with womb barren and bleeding....
Dampening your hopes and dreams...

Forgive me sweetheart,
For deserting you midstream
in our journey of life
promised hand in hand....

Forgive me my baby,
for my cold heartedness
leaving you insecure and bewildered
through your various stages of life....

But my heart had to answer
the call of my motherland.
My life to lay down without any hesitation
For my country...my pride...my very existence!
