Dear Pathak sir, it is really a brilliant poem on death having touching expression with nice collocation. Thank you for sharing this poem nicely.

I agree with you about our desire for a smooth going! We all wish to die before our faculties fail. But I disagree with you about the first two lines. Even when we say that nobody should feel our absence, in our heart of hearts, we want others to miss us! A well crafted small poem!
