See you soon

(Note: I missed my maternal uncle on 9th Jan,2010. He was a pillar of strength to all of us in the family. This is an ode to him.)

You stood like a rock holding our hands,

Giving us the courage to carry on,

Leading us to belief that “Yes, we can”.

You taught what family truly meant,

You fought for us through the sufferings and pain,

With a smile that said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine”.

And suddenly you’re just gone.

To be with our Mami who meant so much.

Creating a hollow no time can fill.

May you both be together forever and ever.

Spreading love like you’ve always done.

As we keep waiting to meet you in the next lifetime.

The heart says, “No, you can’t be gone.”

For how can you stay away from us for so long?
