Did You See? Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

‘Did you see my father alighting?

I failed to catch in dark lighting”

Saw a little girl with beautiful flowers,

Felt so happy but with no answers,



Why did you come alone?

Why you are not with some one?

No, I am not alone but with friend,

He always wishes and messages send,



I could see deep anxiety and worry,

She was calm but not in hurry,

She had nothing but only eagerness in eye,

Wanted to say a smiling hello and bye,



I could read happiness and smile,

What love and readiness for while,

Enough to notice love for dad,

But again not finding and feeling sad,



Plane departed in time but still no trace,

Hands rose for HIS mercy and grace,

Worry, tension griped the face,

Panic gripped and name checking race,



Aircraft hovering on search mission,

No one answering for guilt admission.

No one survived and debris floating,

Bodies scattered with no noting,



It is tragic but truly accidental,

Sometimes happen and just incidental,

Leave deep pain and scare in mind,

Why God not show mercy and kind?



What is use luxury at huge cost?

Sufferings more and painful most,

Bodies not found if crash landed in snow,

Anxieties and worries simply grow,



Relatives and dear ones have no say,

Very dear price they have to pay.

He or she may lone earner and bread winner,

Family may be the ultimate looser,



We can term it as fate,

Lives are saved if sometimes plane is late,

Emergency landing with powerful sound brake,

Heard from miles as blast from quake.
