Ajji

Music soothes no more
It is merely a reminder of your melodious voice and of all the songs you taught me.
A source of boundless love, comfort and warmth, an epitome of serenity, an undemanding giver,
By instinct, you chose to reminisce of reasons for cheer when your pain had rendered us all joyless;
You chose to be content , unaffected by all the troubles that came your way;
We see you Ajji, in all that could make us smile.
We were still learning from you the art of appreciating simple pleasures, of acceptance and of gratitude,
We are now left to learn these precious lessons without the teacher who taught by example.
Ajji, with each passing day, your absence has become harder to accept.
