Ah! under the debilitating debris of our marooned memories,
You will forever remain, like the shiny dews of the early morning, serene and fresh!
Undoubtedly, Time forced you to, so untimely and shockingly, cease,
However, He cannot hide from us your ever playful, tranquil and pleasing trace!
Ah! Your living and enlivening image wells up torrential tears in our groping eyes......!
But what is our crime and transgression we do so sorrowfully surmise,
Of being bereaved of you at so early an age?
Ah! At the delightful dawn of your life's voyage, you left even before viewing the Sunrise!
Ah! Your spring-like nodding head,
Your relishing rolling of the joined fists,
Your skating like movement on the wheeled device,
Your innocent and shy glance; your delicious nibbling of biscuit and bread;
My tickling kissing on your smooth, supple, delirious and unalloyed cheeks;
Your sweet short sojourn and excruciating exit do mince our hearts into many a slice!
N.B. This poem was composed on the unexpected and sad death of the my baby daughter "Dhan" on 15th November, 2010 at 11.45 pm due to pneumonia. She was born on 10th Feb. 2010.

Shankar ji.I read this poem on your late daughter of 9 months(left us on 15th Nov, 2010) with a sadfull heaviness heart. I don't have words to say anything here for this, that have been happened untimely when it was not supposed to. I know it made you shattered unexpectedly when you were spinning lot many hopes and visions as everyone does on their children.
ReplyDeleteI believe she is fortunate to be become 'pyari' for God and she had to leave this world at such an age of only some months. However, we people will be left here with the sweet memories of our departed souls, let us pray to the Almighty for Moksham for her atma. Let us make it happen positively, by diverting our thoughts, speech, and action towards a good initiative. According to our Sanatan Dharma, whatever we positively do in their memory, definitely it will support their atma to attain a spiritually elevated level. You can also believe in that and go according to it.
I appreciate you remember and wrote a beautiful, emotional poem also in her memory which is going to stay here for long. This is really good to know, that how much a father loved the lovely girl once it came as his beloved daughter and had to leave him unexpectedly due to some reasons unknown, still.
Let me join in your prayers for your late baby-daughter, please...🥰😔😌🙏🙏🙏

ReplyDeleteDear Shankar, I have no words to express my grief for your irreparable loss of a little bud. I went through your auto-biographical theme that has taken shape in the poem. I am not going into meodology of the poem, I could visualize the inner feeling . About 9 years have have elapsed, still the loss is being felt.
ReplyDeleteI pray God her soul remain in peace !
