A poem on how our beloved ones leave us.

It has spread its fragrance profound, the flower

Bestowed itself away,made the happy hour

the sharing, with its petals caring,

to wither, to  drop off today.

It could have seen more days

yes, more days we wished to show

grateful for its love, as we

were nurtured by its benevolent glow.

But time decimates

its life arrests

our sorrows deep, too deep to throw

our tantrums, too overt,

to express the feelings embedded.

So we walk the sorrow,

live the grief

With our pails full, through life we go.

Wreathes from the florist

now ring the flower

To enfold the memories

of that happy hour.

    memories belong to us and nobody canĀ“t take them away… Very sad, but without sadness we could not see important things around us…
