My Little Brother Poem by Ravi Panamanna
My Little Brother
I remember the day
He was born.
It was in the morn
That he came on a sojourn
On a rainy day of June.
I remember the day
He for ever closed his little eyes.
It was twilight,
The stars twinkled in silence,
A candle was burning.
Thus his visit to this mortal world
Lasted but a few hours.
He tasted the breast milk
To know the sweetness of earthly love
And then returned to his heavenly abode.
There-in the hospital church yard
He was laid to eternal sleep.
Born in a different religion
That was his final destination.
Life is like that,
Every soul has a pre-destined ground.
From the shores of my little world
I am reflecting on the purposes of life.
25/06/1991 (I had a younger brother born on 08/06/1973 who passed away on the same night. My father was magnanimous who gave away the body to the church connected to the hospital)

The poem so poignant.brings tears to eyes- - Thus his visit to this mortal world Lasted but a few hours He tasted the breast milk To know the earthly love And then returned to his heavenly abode. But the purposes of life is well captured in the beautiful lines of last stanza- - Life is like that Every soul has a pre-destined ground From the shores of my little world I am reflecting on the purposes of life.
