Happy
Birthday, Thatha.
It might have
been so many months past a year,
Well, almost
two years; two dark years,
Since you
left us.
Yet the
grief is the same,
I miss you
the same.
It is so
hard not to look at your picture,
Into your
eyes, that looks so real even now,
So full of
love, so unconditional.
I feel so
guilty, at times,
When I try
hard not to think of you,
Because I
know I’ll just break down,
In your
thoughts, like right now.
The days
when I thought you’ll come back
Are sadly
over.
I know you
are not coming back.
I’m not
going to see you again,
I know, I
know that.
You have
left us. Forever.
With so many
of your memories.
That still
inspires me,
And makes me
think of you,
With so much
pride.
You will be
loved, remembered,
And missed,
painfully, beyond words.
A flood of tears,
Your Sharmi
