I Did Not Cry

In that day I didn't cry I didn't know exactly why? People around and relatives wept But not all tears except one I had kept He was laid on the ground Very quietly and peacefully found He deserved praises from all Now I feared all tears may fall He was man of principles and known as down to earth He was not at all afraid of death He used to say" life may be over one day" Hence never loose patience all the way Enjoy with whatever you have Treat all equal and nicely behave Words may fall as if from sage's tongue Crystal clear with echo and not a vague "Dear son, I have a high hope in you" Never loose a hope and always prove true I was always upset with his advices As if he was about to leave me on his demise He lived his life peacefully Not all the people might have proved it successfully I was sure of his life mission "Life for the people" was his dear ambition How can I weep over his demise? When he had taken from me a promise I will not dropp a tear for whatever reason As he was not for me at all as single person I had spent most of my time with the forces But he had never regretted with simple word of remorse I controlled my emotions with great difficulty As he had told me not to feel any kind of sorry : "Life is not what people firmly believe in and lead" He used to tell me in private "people must observe and read" What you are doing and how are you useful for the noble cause? He may then take deep breath and wait for my response
