- Retirement - Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

- Retirement -



A new home
And some
More time
She said

No more
Time, God
Said

At least,
No more
Worries
About
Insulin
Injections
Or Urine
Infections

R.I.P.
Sushma Ji
Now you
Rest, free
From all
Worry....

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
(She had retired from active politics because of health issues and had shifted from her official residence to a new home, hoping to spend some more time with her husband of 44 years, but death had other plans.....)

She died at the age of 67 on 6th August 2019. Her sudden demise shocked me and so I wrote this poesy, couldn't publish it then as I was busy, so I've published it today. She gave so much love to all her countrymen, no wonder, she was born on 14th Feb, Valentine's Day.
