A Poem As a Tribute On Mothers Day Part 3

Concluded

A Poem as a Tribute on Mother's Day Part 3  concluded.
.

My mother Late Rajrani Kapoor devoted her whole life,
for the love and care of her husband, 
My most wonderful father (Late Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor) 
Who had given her more pains of separations, 
then the flowers of happiness as life companion,
As my father had sacrificed even his studies and
other comforts of life 
For the sake of India’s freedom struggle
On the call of Mahatma Gandhi. 11
.
Suddenly I heard as if, the Koyal had left
That tree shade and had flew away
to some other tree
To continue her melody but
Without leaving any mark of her, 
wonderful singing on the tree or anywhere
I realized that, no epitaph would ever be made
In the honour of 
Such wonderful songs of Koyal
Similarly, no epitaph would ever be made
For all such wonderful freedom struggle workers
Like my mother, 
Who silently contributed the best possible for her
For the sake of her motherland. 12

How very wonderful of you dear friend Connie for revisiting this poem and leaving this important note without which perhaps one cannot truly appreciate the beauty of my poem. I am so grateful to you dear friend and shall be visiting your poems soon, which I have missed for quite some times. I am a little busy with my website on Musical Yoga and hope it would come soon before the end of May. wbw

Such a fitting eulogy to such a noble cause. History bequeaths such rare moments to make such profound changes to itself, or perhaps it does and most of us never recognize our opportunities. Congratulations for POTD honors...
