Pilgrims We Are, On a Silver Carriage To Heaven

My friend lost his dad yesterday,Unexpectedly.. Today,On a Cold day filled with Sun Rays' Warmth, We had the Burial.I could watch Him and his brothers from a distance,Carrying the coffin, They carried on their shoulders ,their Dad's dead body! The dad, who carried them proudly in his hands so many times before,the dad who kissed away their every tear,healed their every pain ,with his loving embrace. Today ,there was No one to save them,to Kiss away the bruise, the open wound,Today for the first time,they called their dad yet he wasn't there,Or He was there in many ways,it was still early to see.Today,i looked at my friend,All I could see was a grown up guy in baby tears,Hot teardrops , running down his cheeks,Unstoppable stream of tears.When the Ceremony was over,He came forward to thank Us all,for just being there, Sharing his Sorrow as for how many times We shared his joy. "Our dad left us ",He said!Heartbroken.Speechless,I found no words to say,all i could give was a Hug,a tap on His back, Yet, i couldnt utter a word,i gazed in His watery brown eyes, For a moment i could feel ,the,pain!the loss!the heartache ! Yet ,in that Black Sad and Void moment,I could feel, Unity! Unity of friends,Bondage Of family,Unity of being protected by God's hands,God's shower of love,Our God' presence! At that moment ,Doubts were there ,flowing in the corridors, and alleys Of Our minds,Yet ,So was Faith,The Faith which keeps us going,Knowing We are the Children Of Our father in heaven,Knowing One day,We all shallmeet again.Our parents ,Our brothers,sisters,grandmas, grandpas,Our Relatives and Our Sweet Friends!We shall meet them , We shall join them,In the Land Of No Sorrow,The Land of angels, The Land where Colored Rainbows Reside.. (Dedicated to Our Friend ,David Armeni, who lost His Beloved Dad ,Mr.Alfred Armeni) Please let us all pray for acceptance of loss) Charma
