Nature-Mother Earth Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Nature-Mother earth
Friday,28th May 2021

How can I forget
and let the things happen!
much to your disliking
such an evil idea is never striking my mind

mother brought me on this lovely earth
father nurtured me with the faith
the neighbours gave me enough love
I believe everybody contributed a lot

but you were above all
my eyes got pleased with your call
early morning chips from the birds
provided me melody with extra words

animals were not lagging
so much love and affection of the rare kind
your generosity in providing food grains
to feel the belly of millions despite bearing pain

the sky fascinates
the earth elevates
my spirit to that of never-ending joy
till death, I smile and enjoy your presence

My body is made of clay
so I remain attached and stay
in your lap, whenever I feel distressed
this brings me a memorable smile on the face
