The fallen branch..

Once again destiny has made a frown..
For once again a branch has broken down..
Irrespective of how difficult it is, to erase the invaluable trace..
A new shoot has to once again, grow up in place!!

A place..a boot so difficult to fill..
No matter how strong might be a person's will..
For it's large and big and too profound..
It's not easy to replace, as it may sound!!

The branch which always was so patient..
The soul which wilfully nurtured the nascent..
You leave today..you do it with a pride..
Life after this we wish may glide!!

A priest..a pure..with smiles galore..
Unsung may be you..the attitude didn't sore..
Nursing the bruises with a smile in disguise..
Indeed you bottled up a lot, do I surmise!!

Amazed at the way you approach your life..
While we keep grieving with ours full of strife..
With family and work time all in place..
Not surprised why happiness perenially graces your face!!

The mentor in you has been a leading light..
Catering to the juniors' sombre plight..
Innumerable questions asked and innumerable answered..
A plethora of knowledge in the process transferred!!

Tasking times and a uber calm head..
Talent at times should remain unsaid..
Address the issue at hand and not panic in vain..
You sure were blessed with a brain which was sane!!

You weren't a mere resource..you were a human being..
For empathy you were full off, we aren't used to seeing..
Reminisce we would the time we spent together..
Here's wishing you luck..we'll all miss you forever!!
