ONWARD JOURNEY
A life well-lived
Most milestones achieved
Several celebrations partaken in
All duties dispensed
With the body weak and spirit sagging
A few slurred words of guidance
As you pass the baton on, of a race well run
Resilient front to hide the excruciating sore-ridden back
Pain disguised in no desire to carry on
Nothing can last forever, not even time
Each marker now drenched in sadness
Every gift that you have left us will outshine the occasions where you no longer can be present
Your towering personality will continue to give us strength immense
Alas, we read your mind with quiet resignation
And bow to the Almighty's will to carry you with HIM
Pain-free you'll soar in heaven's bright lights
Meeting old friends who'll welcome you with camaraderie and cheer
Of many an Allahabad get-together creating fond memories
That's where you have truly belonged, that's where you'll forever be...
