Plus - Appreciation

You were one in a million

Indrani Pieris

Unforgettable,
You were one in a million,
A rare gem on earth –
Pure, serene, cool and calm,
Your genuine ways gave you charm.

Ever helpful, always caring,
Kindness made your heart so light.

In the sky of the faith you were,
A star that shone most pure and bright.

Never did you ever hurt,
The feelings of another’s heart;
Simple, charming, full of grace,
Super human were your ways.

A mother to me you were,
Since the day I lost my mother -
A pillar of strength you were to me,
When we had to work together.

A heart of gold stopped beating
That fateful day,
Leaving another heart weeping,
She had no words to say.

You have left this world –
Never to return,
Leaving a void never to be filled,
This earth lost a precious gem
The day I lost you.

They say time heals all sorrows,
And helps us to forget.
But time so far has only proved
How much I miss you yet.

Indra Siriwardhana
