No Word Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

I gave no word
I patiently heard
Gave honest attention and thought
I aptly heard and was simply caught

The story was eye catching
It was simply reaching
To the depth of inner mind
She was nice and I felt her very kind

She was no one but my mother
I was about to leave her
For rejoining air force duty
First time I felt her to be pretty

She was moving with smile
But I observed pain meanwhile
She was not disclosing in open
I was feeling deep within

In day time, when I was asleep
I felt some tear drops falling on cheeks
It was felt during little sleep in day time
I felt so much and was moved this time

“Why are you crying at his hour”?
She said nothing except a word of honor
She was just staring with worry
I was upset and felt so sorry

I am very much proud of you
This is almost fact and true
People say “I am mother of brave son”
The tears dropped only for this reason

Mothers can not be compared
They are simply adored
With no words to match
We should care for her feelings and catch
