A Collage

As we bought the three-storied house With our dreams and desires To provide my dad a serene life. But it broke our hearts to lose him. The day God called him home. To feel his presence all the time We hang a collage in the formal room To keep him with us. There he is swimming on the Arabian sea Below there is Press cutting showing India’s Independence movement With Gandhi leading and his love For doing Yoga with saints on Gomti’s bank. There is a vacancy in the collage Not sure, my world tour photos, cuttings Front pages of my books will fit in As my time comes. ++++++++ Dr. Ram Mehta Dt. 10/9/13 =========================== 3rd place win Contest: Collage Held Dear by Frank H. * Gomti is the name of the river on whose bank my home town is situated.

I am not sure which is more beautiful, the collage you so wonderfully described that I can picture it in my mind, or the flow of your words weaving everything together.
