Many decades ago
a forebear of yours
brought me to existence,
The seasons of the life
unfolded like a river,
flowing with moments
of laughter and tears,
of whispers and tales,
of dawn’s promise and
the dusk’s surrender…!
Years vamoosed like
the autumn leaves,
rustling with mystic mysteries,
as I traversed through the
realms of childhood wonder,
youthful fervor, and the
twilight of introspection.
Diaries were penned, then torn,
their fragments flew away
by the winds of time…!
Yet, in this odyssey of moments,
I discovered that life is not a journey,
but a sacred circumambulation
– a spiraling path that weaves together
the smithereens of our souls.
With each passing year,
the canvas of experience expanded,
a kaleidoscope of colors blending into
the masterpiece of our existence…
Now, as the moment of your
departure draws near,
I implore you:
remember that every moment
we shared was a benediction,
-a gift from the universe!
May the wisdom distilled from
the time spent together be the compass
that guides us on the journey,
as we spread our wings to take
the flight into an unknown realm!
