I Could Not Forget Her (Part-Ii) Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul

‘I was in her lap more during childhood. So I remembered her back. She crossed the life boat and shore unexpectedly. For me pure affection fell from her core of heart. I could not see life at that time still I wandered in path of playing.Before she left, she called and said, 'Come on and eat rice.'She did feed me thrice last night showing moon. With little salt with full of palm rice along with pot-herb fry she did feed me thrice telling many Indian epic stories of this great cult.She called all brothers, sisters, relatives and father near her.She said, 'I am really very fine, and for me you all do not at all bother. Life sometimes blooms and withers. This is like this only.Better you live life without hesitation and sorrow.'Thinking us younger she became worried for me and my sister.She advised us to be stronger without her time means in her absence. No longer was she in strength. She was getting pain.At that time it was heavy rain. At that time, rivers and streams were flooded. She looked at sky and said, 'Oh children you adore God. He, who sent you near me, will take care of yours.All of them you must tolerate whoever may say what.You will eat with pleasure of name whatever they will give you.' She further said, 'From righteous and true track do not fall down at all. Due to lack of courage nowhere victory comes.' To all at her last time she advised many more things.She soon fell down reminding us about God's word to obey.Shining body of mother, mercury of life means soul went way. Further I looked at her face for the time although she was no more.I cried out of agony. Still I stood up to be in right position with courage. My beloved mom was a soul of light. I could not forget her at all.' The poet says his experience of life during his mother's death in this poem. This poem contains such theme. This is written in Deogarh, Odisha, India and dedicated to the people of the world.
