Question

poem on mahatma gandhi in english

Answer 1

It was vacation, and I had nothing to do;
I was at home and mummy daddy too;
My glance caught a sketch, of an old person;
Strikingly, different was the expression in his Eyes; 
Suddenly I felt guilty of all my lies;
His lips parted in a smile , so pure
He left me spellbound that’s for sure
“Who is he dad?” was my question
“Come on, don’t you know?” “was his reaction
He is the one who has set us free; 
He is the one who has planted the tree;
He is the one, who was bold enough;
Firm and stubborn but never rough;
Truth and non-violence is what he taught
Same were the principles for which he fought
Preaching and practices for once were the same 
His deed were worth name and fame
I have never seen a soul, so tall;
Oh dad; he appears to be the father of all
“You said it, child” said my dad
‘Bapu’ is the name he always had
I saw the sketch again and again,
His returning smile was my greatest gain.
