Poem
My life, my apprehension (1) Quietly, into this life, I came in creeping The life my mother gave me, 74 years ago, As a John Doe, while the whole world was sleeping, Doing good deeds to the society, & becoming a precious soul. (2) While I was young, to become a Doctor, I had learned, For the society, I worked hard, with the knowledge I have earned Treating patients, old and sick, operations were also a fun, Whosoever heard me, may share the merits that I got in return. (3) With wife and children, running my business In my midlife years, I had enjoyed deceptively Living happily like a celebrity, playing and saving my riches, Spending valuable time, & getting old unexpectedly. (4) It was natural that we were all recycled Into the wheel of Sansara, we all lived and died From dust to dust and ash to ash, Christianity’s teaching unrivaled, Impermanence is the law of nature even Buddha could not shied (5) So short is our life expectancy, by turning left and right Unexpectedly getting ill, & unknowingly getting old Anandathuriya wrote about the pleasures in life, Its duration was like a bubble, coming out of the ocean floor (6) Inevitably, our life will end getting sick & old, steady and slow Do not bury, do not entomb, cremate my remains till it blends My death wishes, to my family that I told Summarily, with no exceptions, all in one day, till the end (7) Even God entered Nirvana; for us mortals, leave alone, Do not weep, and do not moan and groan As we came in all alone, we go out in one’s own Journey is hard… walk your path, you must be tough Passing the abyss, stride till you strike the beaches of the bliss, It’s the longest of all voyages that end all the creeds, It is called the “Life’s Sansara Journey” indeed. Dr Ko Ko Thein Salt Lake City, Utah. U.S.A
