Bye Bye Prabhu Ram- Rest In Peace Friend! Poem by Umasree Raghunath

Tears rolled unknowingly as I saw him
In a permanent sleep and unusual calm
I know him as a colleague and an old friend
But never thought of this unimaginable end
As I met and hugged his beloved wife
I felt the tremors of the bereaved family
Death we know is for sure to all of us
But when it happens suddenly and violently
We do not know how to react and take it
Just at beginning of his thirties
He was chosen by God to his shores
Leaving behind a grieving wife and little son
He was the best at his work and fun
Some weaknesses succumbed him beyond words
Only wish his health had the best of times
And he was saved for few more years to come
I stood there silently looking at his calmness
Bidding him my final farewell amidst tears
