I cried when he was suffering, <br />I cried when we dug the grave, <br />I cried when we lit the pyre, <br />I cried when we held the ashes. <br /> <br />I cried for a person- <br />Who had glow like sun- <br />Who had flow like the sea- <br />Who had charm to attract- <br />Who had nothing but love in his heart. <br /> <br />With him in the family; <br />We were always fun. <br />With him in the family; <br />We were always on run. <br />With him in the family; <br />We were all one. <br /> <br />But, now he is sleeping calm: <br />And is at rest, <br />But, he is best. <br /> <br />Life never stops; <br />Is what he said, <br />And with this saying and his blessing; <br />We are still on run, <br />But, without my FIL(father-in-law): <br />Life is NIL.<br /><br />anju addanki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-ode-to-my-father-in-law-fil/
