We Will Do All That, Do Not Worry Poem by Bashyam Narayanan

We will do all that, do not worry
A friend of mine
His father died
After being hospitalized
For a week or so
Our office colleagues
Visited his family
To extent our condolences
It was a fortnight back
And he joined duty
We were enquiring him
After the rituals that followed
It used to be thirteen days' long rites
In his tradition
He was mentioning about his
Five year old son's observation

He said

I was preparing for the
Eleventh day function
As I was dressing up
After a bath early in the morning
My five year old son appeared
And said in all innocence

Dad
Do not worry
We will do all that
Which you did on your dad's demise
When you die and depart
