Remembering you, Rukmai! 26/11/24

The years have been incredible four, 
With you amongst us no more; 

The heart has not stopped aching, 
Albeit all’s there and nothing is lacking; 

What, child, was the hurry to leave? 
Leaving us parents eternally to grieve! 

Very hard with your absence we are trying to cope,
But keep frequently sliding down the slope; 

The years have been turning by like pages of an open book,
The pages seem blank, for the hidden lines we are trying to look; 

I then try to only remember your dimpled beautiful smile,
To help me cross over this ocean of existence mile by mile.
