the truth about life

For him, the summers were always a bit too hot
But please, on ice, put his body not
The warmth of his existence could melt all icea
But today, his body is going cold and it doesn’t feel nice
To somebody who taught me how to not just exist, but live
A few more years as a gift, god couldn’t give
But at least, for him, now there is no pain
Even though for me, it’s a complete loss, no gain
Back then, every morning, he would wake me up with his favorite song
Hated to get up early, but how much today, for it, I long
I wish I could get just one chance
So that I could play his favorite song and start a never-ending dance
I wish I could kiss him just once more
And receive in return, the usual four
I know, my marriage, he wanted to see
But I promise to give my kids, the values he gave me
Today, the heavens shall rejoice
Because the gods have made their best possible choice
But god, please to my request, pay heed
Let a part of him be with me, whenever I need
It’s a futile attempt to as much as try not to cry
And so I place my head at your feet and say my final goodbye…. …

Yours lovingly,Manu
