4th May
We miss your sweet smile
You so freely transmitted
The years roll by each day passes
We wish you were near
And not gone so far
We look at the heaves and search for a star
The special one God created for you
For he took you away for no reason we find
Except that, he needed someone divine
Not in the sense that gods are divine
But for the family you will always shine divine
As the most loved star up high… so high
No one can see or steal your smile
Today it is your birthday,
We miss you dear ‘bhai’*
Your smile hides our tears
For you are now ‘divine’

*bhai means brother
It’s a very touching poem showing the great love for a dear one plucked away from life suddenly leaving everyone shocked to death. Even today after 2 years it’s difficult to get over the greatest loss of our life. May dearest Bhai live in peace in the new world that he has gone to while we live with his beautiful sweet memories.
Your poem touched my heart! Whoever will read it, will feel your loss. Everybody says that time heals but I wonder whether it really does….Your Bhai will live in your heart forever. May he rest in peace!
