God’s special fairy sent to us
You were our first born
As we novices had a lot to learn
So we were made the Chosen Ones
We knew it was tough for you
Being a special one
But together we cried and laughed
Stumbled and steadied, all in fun
You in your little ways
Taught us a million things
how to be patient and calm
During long nights and days
You taught us to be happy
At every little thing you did
The mundane became so special with you
Finding joy in little chores accomplished
You taught us hope
Joy at the sliver of silver lining
The essence of laughter and love
Together with your little sibling
You hated and loved her so much
Big sis rivalry to the core
Yet couldn’t even bear her cough
Wouldn’t let her be rebuked no more
You taught us compassion
love and benevolence selfless
Couldn’t bear to see a tear in my eye
Would rush with a glass of water and gush
We were so happy so content
But it was not to be meant
God wanted you back
Our time with you was up
Maybe it was all for the better
You’d have been inconsolable and pained
How could you live without your father
The river of our tears’d have you maimed
So rest in peace in heaven my angel
Safe in the cocoon of your father’s arms
We have the memories and the learning
Till we are together again at Peace and calm
Beautiful and very touching poem.The part that touches me the most is “Rest in your father’s cocoon”It breaks my ❤️.Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteIt is a master stroke, expressed so beautifully your father's absence. It is the daughter who misses her father like no body does in this universe.
ReplyDeleteNostalgic indeed! Remember those lively days spent with Shreya! God bless her soul 🙏
