to that strong woman -body and soul
I looked at her dainty demeanor
Soft voiced and gentle too
Her actions appealing with softness
In fact I wanted to tell her so
But she left before I could
I felt the strength in her tone
That darling giggle so fine
Her smile so tuned to cheer up true
In fact I wanted to tell her so
But she left before I could
I touched the cord of her being
And wept for her totally true
The call of her soul I tried hearing
In fact I wanted to tell her so
But she left before I could
I sowed the seeds of the flowers
She gave with generosity
They've flowered in bunches fine
In fact I wanted to tell her so
But she left before I could
I reaped the harvest of her warm words
They never hurt rather consoled
Her positive thoughts I admired
In fact I wanted to tell her so
But she left before I could
Her child-like joy I revelled in
The frankness in thought I was stunned
I've wept for the tragedy that befell her
In fact I wanted to tell her so
But she left before I could
I discerned concern in her thinking
Perhaps I've not been so in return
I'd beg forgiveness for misgivings
In fact I wanted to tell her so
But she left before I could
Regrets will sure be history
For we humans lack being perfect
Someday I shall sure meet her
Those moments measured in time
Awakened to peace shall be mine

I lost a dear friend to cancer. She died at 8.45 a.m. (Indian Standard Time) this morning (04.10.2007) She had put up a pitched battle to the disease, giving in to it finally. May her soul rest in peace.
