THE RECITAL
Those little hands, held toys a while ago,
My boy, when did you grow ?
Those tiny feet, struggled to walk,
My boy, when did you learn to talk ?
Those beautiful eyes, once gazed into mine,
When did nation's service become a dream of thine ?
The day you went for the battle is still on my mind,
Fully geared up, you acted as one of a kind.
"I'll soon be back mother", was all you said,
Today in front of me, your body lies dead.
You were satisfied, says your face,
There resides peace and solace.
The dream you had, came true my son,
That battle , our nation has won.
Proud am I, who had a son so brave,
This is a martyr's mother, reporting from his grave.
