She is no more with
us
O dear, she is no
more
She has stepped
across
She’s gone beyond the
door
She has floated over
The threshold between
life and death
No more we’ll be
caressed
By her loving words
and breath
Tapasi , O dearest of
sisters
Why are we condemned
to see the end
Of your loving
presence with us
O heaven sent angelic
friend,
Tapasi, you were not
from our blood but
You won a place into
our hearts
Closest to our
dearest heartbeats
Because you gave us
the largest parts
Why didn’t you tell
us when
You were laid to your
life’s brink
When you lay in the
hospital bed
Of seeing you why we
fools didn’t think
When you decided to
leave us
Why didn’t we walk to
the roadhead
And stand together a
few moments
Under the life’s
sliding shed
Why weren’t we given
a moment
to hug you to hold
you near
Did Heaven think we
were not
Able enough to bear
the fear
We are told He does
everything good
At the moment we
don’t know
We pray with infant
faith and hope
Your face to us a
jiffy may He show!
