'But- - -who will take us to the garden To show the flowers and fruits? ' Take yourselves, along with good memories of Father.

Fruits are hung in the branches of tree. The scenery changes suddenly when flowers and fruits show beauty in the garden but any one of them falls down. Sorrow comes in separation of father in a family when he departs. All cry in agony and sadness. He leaves the family behind. A blankness occupies the house in his favourite chair. Missing him becomes painful. Still we pay tribute and offer prayer for his peaceful eternal journey.. May he rest in peace!

A man who loved his family and his garden. The imagery of roots is so perfect and a lovely tribute to him. In your grief think of the many happy times your shared with your father. It is a poem that moved me greatly as I lost my wife nearly two years ago after nearly 50 years of a very happy marriage.

What a loving poem, your father must have been a good man, the scenery does indeed change but a good name is of a great value and is remembered by children and friends
