Funerals Are A Festival Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Funerals Are A Festival

Rating: 5.0


An old lady was dead. She was my father’s
Mother’s elder sister, who brought him up
After his mother’s death when he was at seven.
I went with him to attend the funeral.

Then I was fifteen; no sadness engulfed;
Not aware how much it engulfed my father.
My funeral will be a festival to
Most who would come there for connections.
