Female Character Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

I am of little shy nature
Never thought of colorful future
Yet thought a lot bit about being woman
How can that be better than that of man?

I did not turn to human being
For any type of good learning
Type of harmony and melodious singing
The idea was in mind and constantly ringing

I turned to no one but nature
Walked barefoot alone to cure
Sickness of mind and to secure
The solution for anything to assure

Why was early morning an opportune time?
Why was it quiet and pleasant sometimes?
Why all birds were in nest and only cuckoo out?
Why dews were still on leaves waiting to peter out?

I ventured to go near birds
They were on branches but heads skywards
Sun was to bring some shine and new hope
I just observed and thought life is like tight rope

Everybody is busy and looking out
There is lot more to talk about
How to live and cope up with problems?
How to adjust and peacefully live with them?

Flowers fear too in early morning
They will soon be plucked without warning
Yet that inbuilt fragrance remained
Even though fear of separation pained

We, the females, have special role
We have yet to respond to superficial call
Not all can adjust and lead to as it should be
But females are tolerant enough to act like big tree

We can be neglected but not forgotten
We can be cheated but role can't be shortened
It is specially designed and suited for our character
What else can we do than to play part as that of an actor?
