Ode in memoriam of Melicia Gunasekara
Sisters though not chosen to be,
Thou were my friend so close to me,
Thine was the smile that made my day,
A word of wisdom, a warning nod.
The knell of the School bell
The break of day;
TIME then passed and we slipped our ways.
Yet.the glory of St.Bridget thou remained.
Thy Voice did refreshed the saddest heart,
Yet the greed of thieves did embark
Silencing you in Death’s vicious pain
May thy soul rest in heaven’s fame
With love always my dearest friend wish your life didn’t have to end.
From the batch of 1992. Of St.Bridgets convent
