Old Couples Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Old couples

It was no easy option
But I needed human relation
My heart always longed
And respected

Any old couple was drawing my attention
I wished them to help with clear intention
I might walk to them and help to pass the road
The same thought always crossed the head

It is always occupying
And denying
The access to wrong people
Who refuse to side with simple struggle

It always dived
And lived
Without fear
For the want of going near

No human life was cheap
And I was ready to keep
Relation with equal respect
And willingness to act
