We All …… Poem by Jayatissa K. Liyanage

Of a diverse plumage, flocked together one day
For a noble and worthy course in mankind’s way
Teamed up in high spirits, heads and hearts together
To lift up the battered, with the mindful valor

Faced challenges we all together
Sailed dauntless despite, prepared to labor
Floods and thunderstorms, going wild and stray
Stood all together, averting being washed away

Shared joys and sorrows, we all together
Cared those who deserved, heeded no favor
Lived worked and survived, hale and heartier
It was one single family well woven together

Dad, mom, sisters and brothers
Tied up in bondage cohesively together
Hearts and minds in the holey noble arbor
Served the mankind thus, all being together

Memorable moment though getting filled with sorrow
For, time is right to say coup de grace to you bro
Let’s step out now to meet somewhere tomorrow
Bon-voyage to you aboard the Vessel of Good Hope!
