SHARED THOUGHTS – 20.09.2015

==============================

 

That 20th September

 

The day will surely dawn

Year after year

The sun will rise as it did in 2007

That 20th September

 

Giving hopes of a new dawn,

For our young son

 

He sets out with a bye and a kiss to his dear wife

and daughter of one, he hugged with all his heart

Uncle and Aunt bid him farewell

Until we meet again they prayed.

 

Embarking on a flight from Down Under

To the city of birth

Landing with the setting sun into the night

For a short ride to the comfort of his home

 

Every sunset gives us one day less to live,

They say. 

And they say,

Every day takes us nearer to our grave

Truer words were never spoken

For our young son

 

The short ride in God’s will

Was the unwilling ride to His abode

So swift with fleeting hasty greed

Did He pluck our young son away.

Never to see another sunrise

And we shall never see our son rise again.

 

Shock and disbelief writ large on every face

That loved and adored this young man

The script was not meant to be thus….  But alas, it was

The mother of all tragedies, they all moaned.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------\

 

And then I asked GOD.

 

Why him?

Why not me?

Why in such haste?

What is your plan?

Is this fair?

 

We hate you.

You are mean.

Like ants, are we to you,

You play with our lives

For your fun.

 

 

Then God replied.

 

Son, it is meant to be.

What is meant to be, is to be.

 

There is a design. A plan.

He fits into the plan.

 

You are merely actors

That should play your role.

 

He is not yours. Nothing is yours.

The script is mine. You are playing your roles.

 

 

And then I asked God

 

What shall then happen

To the daughter dear

And the wife he much loved

That they be deserted.

 

Why give him the dream

That he savoured to live

So rudely snatched even as

He thanked You to have let him dream.

 

God replied:

 

I have a plan. I have plan.

Trust me. It is a good plan.

 

And then I asked God.

 

What plan is good, that leaves us in tears

That shall never dry

 

What plan is good that has only grief

That lasts a lifetime.

 

Those You snatch unaware

Has laid a plan for tomorrow.

 

And You say, You have a plan.

It is a good plan.

 

 

God replied.

 

Son, it is meant to be.

What is meant to be, is to be.

I made you strong

That you may hold long

 

Grief begets strength

Strength is the blessing I bestow

To bear the brunt of My Will.

No questions asked.

 

Body is perishable while the Soul is immortal which never dies.

Consider yourselves as that immortal Soul

that you are all immortal if you do not think yourselves as this Body but Soul.

 

Lord Krishna, Bhagawath Geeta

----------------------------------------------------------------------\

 

Silently, with streaming tears,

We accept His Will,

A design by the celestial,

Without a whimper of protest.

 

A design so rude

To cause life-long pain

A design that’s mocking the grieving

Father, mother, sister

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------\

 

Son, I closed my eyes for but a moment

And suddenly a man stood where a boy used to be.

I may not carry you now in my arms

But I will always carry you in my heart.

You have given me so many reasons to be

Proud of the man you have become,

But the proudest moment for me is

Telling others that

You are my son.

I love you now and forever.

There are moments in life when you wish

you could bring someone down from the heaven.

To spend another day with them just one more time,

give them one more hug, kiss them one more time

or hear their voice again.

One more chance to say I Love You.

---------------------------------------------------------------------\

God called your name so gently.

That only you could hear.

No one heard the footsteps

Of the Angel drawing near

Softly from the shadows,

There came a gentle call,

You closed our eyes,

And went to sleep

You quietly left us all.
