Hard To Say Goodbye
Fifteen months have passed since I lost my Pretty Lotus forever
As I stand by my window, I recall events that give me a shiver
The doctors telling me you that won’t be with us for much long
I tried hiding this bad news but you guessed it like an old song
The whole world began looking grim and colours began to fade
I felt like that fish out of the water wanting to go back to its glade
My pretty lotus was slowly fading away I couldn’t do any thing
All my tender loving care couldn’t diminish your internal sting
The blooming rose tried her best to resist the will of nature to live
The ailment increased and the treatment couldn’t make her live
The shining sun was slowly fading and the time was running out
I began praying daily for good news but began to lose my bout
My beloved who was once very bubbly had given all her hopes
Our family life was soon to end thus I had never seen the ropes
We had plans to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary soon
But her sudden departure brought disaster and spoilt all our boon
She is no more but all her golden memories still linger in my mind
I have lost my most precious treasure there’s no other of that kind
In my ears, I can still hear those sweet voices and melodious song
It is hard to say goodbye to my love that was half a century long.
