MY DEAREST *NANI*

Clouds fly away....all becomes clear
memories that had faded away come near...

The agony finished,
She was freed from pain,
Now only tears roll down
as if its the rain.

One 'n a half year
she suffered and was in misery
Leukemia-that's blood cancer
till a month ago was a mystery.

No one knew what was happening
only the fact that she was ill,
Growing weak day by day
and doctors visiting... increasing their bill.

Blood was transfused
first once a month,15days then a week,
to take care of all this
help from different people we did seek.

Need to thank all those who helped
gave us support 'n care,
helped us retain life of someone
whose loss now can't be repaired.

Elders say now that she has gone
she will be in a much happier place,
but they all also do realise that behind
she has left a vacuum space.

A space that no one will ever fill
a disease that can't be cured by any pill
*Nani, the times that when we said this was very few
Do regret it, its the truth, we surely do love 'n miss you.
