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

Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
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
94 Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad
Love Is Fire Love Is Flame
It is hard to say goodbye to my
love that was half a century long
