As he silences…..he whispers goodbye
He smiles away… “I am here to stay”.

The Life he lived and the lives he touched
making a difference at every stage.
A papa to all, a grandpa (ajja) to me
with loads of love, care and knowledge
his words continue to inspire many!

As I scroll down my memory lane,
I remember the summer childhood days
Walking from school in the scorching sun
Not a day without candy, ice-cream and fun!!!
His stories so wise
full of awe , suspense and surprise
not a day went past
without his hug, pat, his funny fart.

Even today I hear him speak
his oxford accent continues to flatter me,
a man with virtues many
a doctor, an advisor, a friend to me

Of all men that i admire today
He tops the list with a huge sway
Grandpa…you will always be missed
That’s very much the feeling today.
