Framed

With shaking hands she served dinner

He walked with a tremble even with the stick

Together they sat on that tattered bench

Under that ageing mango tree

Looking sadly at the strewn fruit

Gone are the days when they were

Relished with enthusiasm by the kids

Now only few squirrels or birds come to pick

Their loving brave son

Fought courageously at the border

Making them proud

Only to return packed in a wooden box

An ever smiling picture of him framed

And preserved forever in their hearts .
