To The Soul That Just Departed Poem by Bashyam Narayanan

To the soul that just departed
We are here to take care of the
Tasks left behind you
Rest in peace

But at the same time
We wonder whether we would be able to
Give the touch you used to
Carve the way you used to
Serve the product the way you used to
Win over the beneficiary the way you used to
Convince a doubtful consumer the way you used to
Speak out the phrases you used to
Deliver timely the way you used to

We miss you for your smartness
We miss the weighed kindness you showered
We miss you for your wisdom
We miss you for your thoughtful directions

You will definitely take a birth again
As you had a lot ambitions
As you had a lot plan for those whom you loved
As you feelthat you had a lot love yet to be shared

But take a birth that ensures
Your reaching unmet goals
Be kind to people in your chase
Be smart but never smart those who believe you
Expand the extent of your love
Never give room to the belief you only are right
Know where you lack
Never cover up your weaknesses
Instead strengthen them
Do not take things to head
But have a heart that accommodate a lot others
Enjoy living but remember that others too have this right
Try to understand the untold opinion
Do not read between the lines
Involve others in your decision making process

Be a generous person
It is not going to make you poor
But it will indeed make you rich
Bye for now

Will we meet again?
