Yet to see a man like Nihal Samarasinhe <br />Although, known to dear and near ones as Nihal <br />but he was known to his close friends as BAILA. <br />A good planter of yesterday is no more with us today <br />but his fond memories will cherish in our heart forever <br />His absence shows us how important man he was <br />Not only he was a great rugby player <br />but also a good coach for younger generation <br />Neither problems worried him nor pain ever hurt him <br />He never expressed his sorrows to others <br />but his words were enough to make others laugh <br />He was a king by heart and led his life of his own <br />He never hurt anyone either spoken evil about others <br />He was stronger believer of 'Laughter Is The Best Medicine' <br />He imparted same belief in others to live the life <br />Though not a frequent visitor to Church, God heard his silent prayers <br />Our heart knows how much we miss him and tears keep rolling down <br />But he walked through the heaven gate with a smile <br />Let us pray for his soul to rest in peace.<br /><br />Ravi Sathasivam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nihal-baila-samarasinhe/
