In Joy And Sorrow
What glorious times she has lived!
Bright days of enthusiasm for her activity
Surrounded by lots of friends and a happy family!
Now treasuring plenty of gifts received...
Clouds of gloom have come to fill the air...
For family love and joy of life
She keeps struggling without a strife
Always facing it without despair!

The Light
During the day and at night
I keep treasuring the Light
Which floods my soul
Encouraging me above all
To face hard moments
And forget torments...
I look at things around
Bringing a special music-like sound
Which echoes in my heart and mind
As a sweet melody so kind
Inspiring my days
In such manifold ways...

A Haven for the Soul
A poem is something
We truly believe in.
It may be...
A struggle for the mind
For the heart a comfort
Tender, kind.
A haven for the soul
Embracing you, me, and all.
A token divine
Deeply cherished inside
Treasuring life with pride.
A path left open...
For others to pursue
And fathom the same journeys
All through.

The Supreme Light
The Supreme Light
Shines so bright
Stays always around
Strengthens this bond
Sustains our day
Inspires us this way!
It enlightens our mind
Broadens it - so kind!
It purifies our soul
Comforts the hearts - great console!
Beyond measure is
This purely divine bliss
That comes as a heed
For quietness, love to feed!

A Brief, Encouraging Note
It surely was a hard time
For you to have to say 'goodbye'!
Did she really care about your plans,
Your talks, your efforts, your dreams?
Tell us what happened, honey, and why?
Try and overcome it by all means.
Keep your faith, live your days wisely,
Face your plight,
And things will certainly end up
Getting right!

A Flash Of The Past
A couple of years on
We hardly believe
Such days of joy have gone...
But those happy young faces
Stay there smiling for good
Telling us the story it embraces.
It was a passionate time
Of discovery, learning,
Enthusiasm not only mine
Boosting knowledge indeed
Through sharing and caring
For their mind and soul to feed.

Drops Of Mercy
Soft rain drops falling on the ground
Celestial blessings around
Purifying the atmosphere
Offering us much joy here.
Trees, animals and everyone
Are indebted to the One
Who has made us realize
Days like this are paradise.
Lofty thoughts do abound
Fresh ideas are really found
Through exciting reads near
In a mutual imparting so dear!

Echoes
They often come in sweet ways
As powerful as when she prays.
Through melodious sounds resonating
And words of praise wisely spoken
She treasures them - a friendly token.
They will always arrive here
Conveying that peace so dear!
They vividly enhance the mind
Challenging her daily tasks
For years ahead we hope it lasts.

Closeness
A cascade of emotions
Descended upon me
Since dawn cleared
Until night came to me.
I recalled the warm atmosphere
The welcoming lovely smiles
The coulorful landscape
Reflected on their eyes.
I seemed to hear their voices
How melodious they sounded!
I did feel the same blessings
And taste, and smell delicatessen offered!

A Sweet Haven
Today I'm not in my usual mood
to face things in life as I would...
Sad thoughts of loss of our beloved,
and missing talks of other dearly loved
have inhabited this heart bereaved
as if it all distressed my soul
from the quietness and joy as a whole.
Anyway, this sweet haven I sought
so that hope and peace could be brought.
