while attending the funeral
of a very dear person,
the other day
i felt very sad, and asked
myself now what
cos there seemed no way
everything was morose
everyone was sad
everyone was feeling
the effect that person had
there were mourners everywhere,
some genuine,some hypocrites,
there was hustling and bustling everywhere
and yet,
there was a silences
which was getting on my wits
suddenly the silence broke
and i heard a noise
of a small child laughing
i heard her sweet little voice
her laughter in that place
suddenly made my day
cos in her innocence
she had shown me the way
just when we thought
there was nothing left
we saw life expressing itself
from every corner,from every cleft
the child told us
that if a person goes away
leaving us in tears
then we should say
"life does not end with someone
but it does take a new turn"
and we must just remember
that the person who's gone
didn't want us to be sad
but wanted us to be happy forever
