Immortal within our hearts

Asoka Peiris

Award winning actor par excellence – Idolized by one and all
Scholarly erudite gentleman – a colossus, who really stood tall
Observant, omniscient leader, unique and paralleled to none
Kindhearted, affable and ever so friendly, a loving brother to everyone
Absolute, complete human being – a truly great Sri Lankan son!

Pragmatic wise counsellor, to converse with you ‘twas a treat
Eloquent classy orator – what joy it brought each time you did speak
Illustrious, yet humble personality, to lead a Godly life you were born
Reminiscences of that exemplary life, gives us the strength to go on and on
Immortal within our hearts your sweet memory will remain
Safely rest in your Creator's arms, until we meet each other again
