Letter-Sad Memory Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

letter-Sad memory
Friday,11th June 2021

I shocked to see you go
it was a massive blow
to me and family members
we could only offer prayers

everything has been taken care off
your unfinished work has been cleared
your name now appears in a good book
your loss really shook us for a long time

I have kept your tradition
to improve upon the relation
even wear the same dress
that was a reason of smile for all of us

your memory remains fresh
we cash it on
when engulfed by sadness
and couldn't bring a smile to the face

five years is a long time
we imagine it took place in recent time
time is flying away
we offer prayers for your comfortable stay

we miss you so much
tears still rush
and push us towards gloom
and find no room to cry even
