In Memory

Today is that festival day, O dear ! I wait and anxious for that greeting card Which you send giving me joy and Pleasure of your love and affection And sense of belonging, A gesture, sustaining our bonds for years. Now I vainly wait for that sort of good wishes On festival days to boost my spirit to soar high And enjoy life, finding someone so cares for me, Now I can’t bear to nip my such feelings For which I crave on happy occasions To fill me with hopes and a carefree life. How I suffer and how much can I weep Shackled, bearing all the angst and anguish You suffered in your conscious life. Yet you cannot fix the time of your departure Like Bhishm Pitamah, To get released from the shackles of life’s woes Though now with very little hope, I wish To receive your message of good wishes As you did till near past, bringing some life in my life. I can not now hold my tears and anguish And how lonely and deserted I find my self Without you, my dearest brother!
