ETERNAL RESTING PLACE

Almost all evenings of everyday,
you come at his eternal resting place.
In between sobs and tears
you're at your knees - reciting prayers.

You beg the Almighty for forgiveness,
for whatever sins he did commit.
And his sudden demise so painful
without compromise,
for sure who couldn't bear?

Every passing days
always remain a bitter sweet memories of yesterday.
How should you withstand the various
blends of loneliness?

Even the cheerfulness of nature
couldn't replace what had been long in place?
What more when long time happiness
turned into desolate loneliness.
