Poem Commentary

This poem was writen on the demise of my nephew McColman in France.They were written to comfort his mother my sister-in-law on her loss.Mere words which would not suffice at the moment, but in time she cud look the same up and derive whatever comfort.If that is so, it would serve as reward enough for me.  

WORDS OF COMFORT

How does one comfort a mother on the demise of her eldest

Akin to a very tear of her body and soul.

Sad but true life must go on,

Though put on hold for a while

Be comforted to the fact that he walked and lived amongst us,

Recollect the golden moments shared together

The laughter, the joys, the smiles amidst the tears,

Eloborate on them in your mind to dampen the grief within

For as the Bard once said - All's the world a stage

And we are just actors playing our roles

Upto the final curtain call

Keep him alive in your dreams and memories

And he will be with you all of your life

So walk forth through life with head held high

In the knowledge that you too will depart this earth in time

To meet with your loved ones in the afterlife of Eternity.
