(Old Post 88).Beauty of Love

Beauty of Love




Someday when introduced newly at home
People were surprised to see this telephone

Unlike now, people could not connect directly
‘How can I help you? ‘Was dictum

Wherein first a person connected privately

This person of telephone exchange helped people with queries
This was the system existed we can find written in old diaries









A little boy all alone at home
Once dialled and heard a sweet tone

The lady had replied ‘How can I help you?’
The had his problems own
He had broken one of his bone

At home father had gone for job
He was bleeding on the top

The lady on being told about this
Suggested First Aid to problem of his

Boy later found mathematics unsolved problem few
Found same appealing voice ‘How can I help you?’

She not only solved mathematics problem few
But also the boys little dilemma new

He had no mum
And the lady treated him like a gem
She had no son of her own
Showered all love to this lad unknown









A day came…
His dad got transferred the month same

It was time to be shifted to new place
But little boy had never seen the lady’s face

The lady could not find the kids trace
Her memories indeed chased

 His aim was to grow up and meet her
Give her a rose and greet her










The day came when he visited his home
Dialled and expected the same tone

This time he heard again ‘How can I help you?’
The voice was little trembling but not new

After fifteen years he had heard that melody
He desired to meet the kind lady

She was so happy and knew in advance
That the boy would return back on getting chance

He had to leave the place for days two
Promised the lady to be back, said ‘see you’





The lady knew she might now live till then
Wrote him a note holding pen

Property of her to him she gave
Doctor couldn’t her life save








The boy came to her with a rose two more
But came to know she was no more..

The note had her feelings true
Consoled he to move on in life and he prove










He saw for the first and last time the lady’s face
He could see his mother’s warmth, affection base

Held her funeral the rose
And kissed her eyebrows

Cried to her saying words few
‘Please, on my call ask me, ‘How can I help you?’







 
But there was total silence sort
Voice echoed of her in his heart
‘Son, I’m in you, not apart



Now you should help yourself come out of this grief
Only then my soul can rest in peace



Body may die
Buried ashes may fly



But the soul is supreme
And is immortal extreme’


The young man always remembered this love
This was as pure and white as dove!!!
