Just half an hour before death.
There lay an old feeble body
With just breathing in
Surrendered with near and dear ones.
Doctors said
Left with few minutes.
Knowingly he prayed God
And like a flash back
He looked back into his life
And cherish each moment
Happily
As well the bitter moments
Which he went through.
Since a childhood
Till now..
Where he lay in bed.
By the half hour
He remembers
each and everything.
He kept on telling all
that he can feel.
He shared with us the
joyous ones as well the
painful ones
which touched his life.
later...
He said he is feeling
Sleepy and he looked
Everyone for the last time,
and
Slept forever.
..................................................
May each of us get a time to cherish
All those moments and enjoy it
At least once in our life time
May each of us take a time to look back and see.
We can cherish as long our soul resides in our body!
Cherish while Alive!

It is said that around the time of death, our past life scrolls back as on a silver screen! May be.. or may not be! We do not know! But if our actions have been good, definitely, we will be able to die in peace! A poem that makes us sit back and think!
A very deep and meaningful poem Geetha. Death comes upon us all when we do not know, but it will come. Having lost both parents and a baby Son I know the feelings very well. But if we only get one life we have to take the good times along with the bad! Lovely poem anyway.

I would like to translate this poem
Great sentiments expressed with inherent depth. May I take the liberty of making a small suggestion. If you start in the present tense, to maintain a better flow - sustain it throughout the poem. Don't change from present to past. Once again a wonderful read. Thank you. Dee
