When I had you I was afraid to die
Now that you're gone, death is no
shy
If he takes me today I will go with
a smile
Let others cope and heal for awhile
I am selfish, yes I am that for sure
This internal pain I can not endure
If death take me today, next month
or year
Death I am ready, and you I do not
fear.
Take me there where my Lotus
dwells
Make me float in the river that
swells.

You Chose To Be With Me
Everything that I ever wanted in
my life
Was for my Lotus to be my
beautiful wife.
I've cried everyday since she went
away
Wondering how I could’ve made
her stay.
I miss the days when she would
cook
I loved to watch her read a book.
I think about her every minute
every day
My Lotus was just so great in
every way.
Let's go to dinner! That sounded
fine
She always ordered sprite but no
wine.
85 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
I drove her everywhere she wanted
to go
My Pretty Lotus was swift but
never slow
She looked so pretty and smelled
so nice
I got lucky when I rolled my lovely
dice.
Flowers and cards, she loved them
all
Especially the bright roses in the
fall.
I could pick her out in any crowd
"That's my Baby!" I was so proud.
She’d smile at me and then I knew
I'd get to go home and be with you.
We had our own language, words
to speak
86 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
Many new phrases and words
came for us every week.
Mine were dorky, she'd shake her
head
But I always laughed at the ones
she said.
How lucky was I to have her
around here
I was always smiling when she was
near.
She blessed my life with love and a
lot of joy
Especially when she brought home
our first boy.
We loved to travel to places near
and far
It did not matter if it was by plane
or car.
She really knew how to plan all the
trip
87 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
She willingly allowed me the wines
to sip.
I now miss the laughs and all the
fun
I still can't believe that it's all
gone.
She was an angel in my mind and
heart
On every step she looked very
smart
She taught me a lot about how to
live
How to love, behave and how to
give.
Now I have to do all these on my
own
But I feel she’s with me, I'm not
alone.
Through the bedroom door I go
each day
88 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
"Hi, my pretty lotus!" is all what I
say.
Everything here reminds me of
that dove
All the things I’ve treasured about
her love.
Clothes, shoes, jewels and even
perfume
All her used things that are in our
room.
They remind me of my love for you
my love
And make me smile when I feel
blue and sob
I wish that she was still here with
me
To guide me, love me and play
with me .
I'd get her ice cream and rub her
feet
89 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
I'd let her sit in the best recliner
seat!
I never knew the right ghazal and
song
She'd always help me when I was
wrong.
Sometimes it was my purposeful
gaffe
Just to please her and make her
laugh.
Cooking was something I could not
do
Cleaning the dishes I never did for
you.
I could bring for her all things
good
And I could make the yard look
good.
Lakhan still wants to be happy in
this life
90 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
But that's not easy without my
pretty wife.
But for my every day that now
goes by
My Saroj reminds me of what,
where and why.
I wish that I could trade places
with you
For all pain and suffering you went
through.
She smiled and stood tall above
the crowd
All the family and friends were
very proud.
I know I'm dull and I cannot ever
dance
I'm so very thankful you gave me a
chance.
To try in many ways to love well
and serve
91 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
I wish I could give you all that you
deserve.
There was only one chance in my
life
For you to be my beautiful wedded
wife.
You were so gracious and giving
for all to see
I'm thankful and glad you chose to
be with me.
