An Ode To My Father-In -Law(Fil)

Rating: 4.0


I cried when he was suffering,
I cried when we dug the grave,
I cried when we lit the pyre,
I cried when we held the ashes.

I cried for a person-
Who had glow like sun-
Who had flow like the sea-
Who had charm to attract-
Who had nothing but love in his heart.

With him in the family;
We were always fun.
With him in the family;
We were always on run.
With him in the family;
We were all one.

But, now he is sleeping calm:
And is at rest,
But, he is best.

Life never stops;
Is what he said,
And with this saying and his blessing;
We are still on run,
But, without my FIL(father-in-law):
Life is NIL.

Ssssssssssh.......I cried for a person- Who had glow like sun- Who had flow like the sea- Who had charm to attract- Who had nothing but love in his heart. His departed soul is listening that and may be he will come as your husband when you are reborn again.I may be somewhat wrong.You might be his admirer only but not a superlative degree of admiration called love.If it is like love-then wait for your next life and he will be yours in some other part of the world. Very poignant write.10/10/10
