Your's truely

The Poem

Your's truely

After the death...
let them not walk
into the grave with
bunch of flowers
in their hands
with fake tears
if they could't give me
one hearty smile,
one hearty greeting word,
one hearty deed,
one hearty gesture of affection,
one hearty respect
one hearty bow downs of gratitude
for what I had done to them,
without pretending
what they are not,
without repenting heartily
for what they were
before I entered their lives,
when Iam present.
Before my death,
inform all those
who have never met me,
but waiting for me...
let them know that
I would come again to them
with or without the physical body...
no matter how far they are
right now in their life here..
let them not weep
in my memory
but always cherish that
I cherish their one hearty smile.
Because Iam your's truely..
