Well I felt I was there listening to your father's words and after spending much time in a hospital room with my husband while he was on his death bed, I can relate. I've often wondered what their last thoughts are and after reading this precious poem, I can certainly step into that mindset. It troubles me that their weakness prevents them form being able to speak and I feel the frustration in that. What I take away from this poem is an urgent message to do as much as we can with those we love while we are still able too. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem with us, I do appreciate very much.....
Sir you have made me cry...I recollect my foster father's; last moments...really astonishing to hear such words as a son in law sir! Amid men who illtreat not only their wife but also the in laws for dowry, it is amazing to hear such words of concern and love for a father in law from a son in law. Hats off to you sir. Really can't stop my tears............can feel the separation and the soul departing in the nerves! Thanks for sharing the emotion packed art work sir. With your permission can I share it on my Facebook wall sir?
Uma...feel blessed to know the few lines I wrote has evoked such emotions in you. Although it is a very private poem, you can share it in FB if it won't get undue publicity
Sir...you 've made me cry...I recollect my foster parents' demise...My foster father's last breath was on me, when he wanted to ease out, we had taken him to the rest room and he he collapsed on me...that was his last breath...can't stop my tears sir. Hats off to you for being such a loving concerned and caring son in law, which means you are an equally loving caring and concerned husband! Amid men who ill treat not only their wife but also in laws for dowry it is astonishing to hear such words...unbelievable. Salutes to you sir. With your permission can I share it on my Facebook timeline sir? Thanks for sharing the emotion packed art!
I could easily relate to these lines as I had lost my father recently. A void created that can never be replaced. A tearful adieu indeed.you meant weak instead of week in the second stanza .I think.Thank you for sharing
