Bappa…

I came to you with nothing but my plea,
In innocence, I sought your grace and decree.
Your blessings poured, milestones in my name,
Emotions surged whenever you left, not the same.

I was but a fool, yet you shaped my way,
Grateful for more than I deserved each day.
You witnessed my life’s journey unfold,
In your name, my story of strength was told.

During the year of the pandemic’s reign,
I couldn’t visit, but my prayers remained.
Watching live feeds and photos from a cage,
You stayed by my side, in every life stage.

I kept believing, and you made me strong,
In times of hardship, you proved me wrong.
But this year, your absence, a heavy blow,
I felt like there was no place left to go.

Bappa, you reside deep within our heart,
A memento I made, a work of art.
I’ll cherish it forever, my solemn vow,
And pray for all who serve you, here and now.

Thank you, Bappa, for all you’ve done,
Gratitude fills my heart, for every single one.
Words may fall short, emotions run deep,
In your love and blessings, my soul shall keep.
