Dear Brother
We grew up together you and I
Each day now passes with a sigh
We shared good times we were just two
With five loving sisters of which one flew
Her passing away was a terrible blow
Then papa too decided to go
Together we bonded the family tree
A branch cut off so suddenly too
No signs you gave of your going away
Now we have lost you so far away
Sleep in peace dear brother is what I wish to say
God will shelter the family while you are away bhai

The sudden loss of so loving a brother to the cruel hands of death must be tragic to the core!
The experience would have been enjoyable and memorable that indicates no convincing way to compensate his permanent absence!
What else could the sufferer do except pray for the departed soul to rest in peace?
Continued welfare of the family is but left to the total mercy of the Almighty God!
