A Trusted Friends Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

“Grandma, grandma” we may shout and usher in house
We may trouble her even with slight appearance of mouse
She was there for all practical purpose
We had no reason to guess for anything or suppose

She was towering strength at her age and guided
Her magic spell and words always blinded
We will not dare to defy her in any way
She will not feel bad we would keep certainly away

She had created paramount position
We accepted it as fine and well composition
She was philosopher, guide and everything
We will rush to her if something was not found or missing

If we don’t find her then we shall certainly miss her in the evening
We will find it difficult to forget any unusual happening
It will be difficult to sleep quietly in the night
We may feel something for not doing anything right

We may silently debate “How right she is?
“Even today God blesses in peaceful night”
Her utterances prove very right
We will try to forget the scuffle or swift fight

She may confide in me by saying
You just remember God by simply laying
If sleep still eludes then try to pray
The sound sleep may not stay away

It was her life's treasure
This was given for sure
You should benefit out of it
The lamp remains always lit

She may quietly come on bed side
Put her hand over head and spread it wide
Fingers may move in and give some sort of comforts
She makes all convincing with all possible efforts

Even though she had no formal education
Still wisdom on her part gave full marks with indication
I was taken full care of with very good advices
She had no clue as to with any of the devices

If you compare any living thing by first hand
The female character may not come at the end
It will always occupy dominant and honorable place
She is there to offer us strength and courage to face

I have vivid memory for her to remember
How inseparable part she was as member?
I still cry by hiding the face
She has left behind everything for us to trace

Almighty is very much pleased to bless us with such gift
We will never experience any discrimination or shift
She will give us everything possible with so much joy
We should take advantage out of it and fully enjoy
