When The Near And Dear Ones Depart Poem by Neeta Pradhan

Death - A fact for all living beings I know, Oh GOD!
Little did i know the pain and felt until when my father left,
Leaves a vacuum, never to be fulfilled,
For those others who left us,
I see and feel the pain again,
Oh God, i pray you to be by our side,
At this moment of loss, you are the sole creator,
And you are the healer.
Bless us Oh! God: I pray to thee:
Give us enough courage to withstand the losses undergone,
Give us strength to be there and support one another.
I thank you for all that you have given us.
Forgive us for thy mistakes done.
