Great Human Beings Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Great human beings

I saw her in simple dress
It was really innocent face
With no customary knowledge of life
I thought for her selection to tackle life's edge of knife

She had poor background
And so had I on ground
I was simple and ordinary soldier
Yet she opted for me as her partner

We had no other means
But carry on
With meager income
Yes she adjusted and welcomed

Normally in our side of the country
People prefer no man with background of military
She was bold enough to accept
And really joined me with her dedicated act

I learnt tolerance from her
She proved not only wife and mother
But care taker
Of whole of the family and old mother

What could have happened if she was not active?
Not remained alive to the financial situation in life
It was all her long sight and motherly attitude
That made her respectable head

Let us start journey from home
Give them enough of respect and welcome
Women have very tolerant nature
So they are called great human being gifted by nature
