Time has not healed the grief

~ Geethika Ranaweera

A bundle of joy as a babe
A soft-spoken obedient pupil in class
A very smart beauty as a teen
A devoted wife in life
Finally the best mother on earth

The vivid pictures of your short span of life
Haunt me day in day out with grief
They say that time is the best healer
But for me it’s the other way about Geethi

My aching heart full of pain
Weeps so badly in vain
To realize the impermanency of life
Takes time and to live with it for ever

Throughout the past two years
Your mother, family and sincere friends
Together invoked blessings on you
To attain the Bliss of Nirvana.

Your loving mother
