Tribute To Prabha Rajan (Shared Again With R.V.Rajan On 5 Jan 2020) Poem by Umasree Raghunath

A Tribute to Prabha Rajan -Written Jan 2013


Soft and gentle, elegant and ever charming

As a wife, mother and friend in the roles she did

She cherished every bit of it with a smile and wit

The fragrances of the Mylapore temple flowers

And the music of the margalzi month showered

As she interacted with each other in our Inner Wheel

Kindly and gently, she spoke but was strong in her views

Silently and surely, she gave stories of lives to this world

In her writings, she related things closer to her heart

In her singing and books, she showed her excellent arts

The warmth of a gentle soul is for sure missed

The brightest smile is truly disappeared in her passing away

Courage and smiles she showed as she struggled through illness

The zeal to live and quest to give that made her the best

Thank you dear Friend, whom today we dearly miss

Miss you from being amongst us in the meetings we do

And miss from the celebrations we lined up in few

However, true to our hearts, we are grateful to you

For the friendship and goodness you left behind

We would carry on the foot prints of your thoughts

And would cherish your memory dearly and for long!

May god bestow the best of rest to you in his heavens

And bring in solace to your bereaved family and friends

May your soul Rest in Peace, Dear Mrs Prabha Rajan

You would for ever live in our thoughts and hearts
