Death took you away from us
The permanence of this great loss
Struck us like a thundering bolt
And brought us back to earth with a jolt.
You were a pillar of great strength
You guided us for quite a length
You inspired us to move ahead
And helped us use our own head
Children used to treasure
The time you spent with them with great pleasure
You taught them young the slokas
And took them to their own lokas
Youngsters used to adore
The knowledge you always bore
They always like the space
And the learning they got at their own pace
Adults would always feel your presence
To whom you would always give guidance
Whether they accepted or not wouldn’t hurt
you would give the next with an additional spurt
A great challenge for the lord above us
To create another father and duplicate thus
From the heaven above you would surely bless
Death can never take you away from us.

When I had to choose between love & hatred, I chose love
When I had to choose between positive & negative, I chose positive.
When I had to choose between truth & lie, I chose truth.
When I had to choose between life & living, I chose life.
When I had to choose between friends & foe, I chose friends
When I had to choose between happiness & joy, I chose joy
When I had to choose between better & best. I chose best
When I had to choose between you & me, I chose you.
I know the choice I made is the best for me more than you.

The television they see
the television they hear
But that is what, I fear
will bring the doom near! !
The news, the songs, the movies they see
The words, the music, the dialogues they hear
The matches they see and cheer
brings my neighbor near to tear! !
I am always in fear
If my child will clear
the last and final year
but that, never bothers my dear! !
The young, the old all alike
see the TV through the night
which always delays my supper
and that too without salt or pepper! !
The news, the movies I never see,
because I always want to be
as busy & ever busy as an ant
& never want to be called Top Vacant (TV) ! !
