A Don Quixote and a Sancho Panza
Tough time – the economic crisis for a short period
Sometimes for the five members there’ll be a few bread.
Mother would declare she'd already her share of bread
“I was soo……. hungry, I had mine” she would add.
Dad, sacrificing his life
For my higher education.
Worked in a rustic village
And living in seclusion.
Scene changed with newly built house quite pleasing
With my name plate "Dr. Ram Mehta, Litt.D" hanging.
Scene changed with those sacrifices in matured years
Acting Moliere in France, in U.K. visit to bards’ houses.
Attending the poetry conferences
in three continents
Retired life with kids in USA and India,
both democracies.
