A Life-giving Force
A Life-giving Force


No more stories, no more of his blessings will come my way; one who shaped me has gone away.
I know not how to reckon, this was not the time, for me, it is too soon.
My heart shrank at the glance, the face of grace; turned pale.
Motionless hands; his body looked stale
That affectionate voice -will never be heard again.
He had lain lifeless,
I bitterly cried at the fateful sight ..
Some people came for an embrace; others with flowery words of solace.
"One who is born will die for sure, so let's be straight," the tough ones said.
When I was drowning in the ocean of the woeful emotions,
What you once said came as a 'spur '
"Beyond you and me, there, is, a 'power'
A life-giving force, that directs life to ran its course,
And when it ran out, it goes back to its source.
