You came into my life
a soothing iridescent light
blitheful amongst your friends
serene with me
respectful to elders
correct to a fault
in all circumstances.
You were modest
yet confident in tranquility
and adversity.
You believed in God
in the true sense,
practicing the tenets
of righteous path
in everything you said
or acted upon
with all you met,
however big or small .
You had immense power
of endurance
to bear any pain or suffering,
not showing to anybody
what you were going through.
Now, having lost you
from this perishable world
for your place
in the ethereal divine world,
I will always remember
the finest qualities
you lived by,
and showered their
blessings upon me
in ample measure.
Forgive me, if I fell short
before your sublime ideals
of loving and living.
( Yours for ever, Vinay)
