Dedicated to Mani , the gem of the world
By
Raja
A gem belonging to the northern village of Kerala,
Lead all of us in the right path all these days.
HE was born as the son of a leading hotelier of Mylapore ,
Along with his very and very dear sisters , who were his soul
He gave all his sisters in marriage to great people,
And got married to the queen like daughter,
Of a doctor who was a big officer in health department,
And lead a full life , which was dedicated to all of us
His house all his life , roared with guests always,
Who all never wanted to go anywhere from there,
And the gem and his wife the queen ,
Lived a royal life and built up a great family.
He named his sterling daughter as golden girl,
His first son as the lord of all the world
The second one as one who cures sorrow of the world,
His third as handsome one and his home after his great wife
The gem was an auditor by profession,
And used to tell all of us his great exploits ,
About how he pin pointed the corruption,
And mistakes did by greater people than him
The gem was in great love with his great village,
And the Perumal who stood at the top of the village ,
And blessed all of them , for ever and ever,
And once he offered gold coins to do pooja to this great God
He was very fond of maintaining his bank accounts on line,
And after retirement , he became an expert in Crossword,
And after some time , he became an expert in Sudoku
But the gem lost its luster and I lost an elder brother
His great children and their consorts lost an endearing father,.
And his lovely grand children , each of them a gem like him,
Lost a gem like grand father and his partner and shadow of life ,
Lost an endearing partner , who was everything to her
Let us all , who have benefitted by the love of invaluable gem.
Pray God , to console that gem who has reached his feet ,
And tell him that ,He would look after all those whom he loved,
And make them as comfortable as if the gem was there with each of them
