125 Shastriji's struggle is a lesson to all-a poem

Born in a small village, small in height

 Among the twinkling stars, was A star bright.

Walked many miles to school

 without shoes

Experienced  in his childhood

Uncounted woes.

                 [ 2 ]

Hardly was he

 one and half year old

His father left for a heavenly abode.

             [ 3 ]

Never did he  enjoy his babyhood

 Yet led his life, honestly barefoot

Hardly are found leaders in any statehood.

                 [ 4 ]

Went to Boat-Fare,

This destitute one day

 All fun Poor boy couldn't enjoy  

Jumped into the river, swam to the bank

 Could dare it Shastri only- a brave boy.

                  [ 5 ]

Though his family was completely shattered

He threw himself into a freedom struggle

With his hard work and exceptional will

He attained incumbency of Prime-ministership.

                   [ 6 ]

So what was his frail stature

His mettle was enough to prove his nature

                 [ 7 ]

Once he rightly said-------

“ Due to being small in size and soft of tongue

People are apt to believe"I am not able to be firm"

             [ 8 ]

"I am internally not so weak,

As people understand and often they speak.

Once I start, can go long.  

Though physically, I am not so strong.”

                    [ 9 ]

Never you  shown off

Nor did  you  tweet 

 

Stay DEAR  PRIME  MINISTER!

 Till we live!
