This one is for you, Uncle...

Atthi, You were an unsung hero,
You never got your share of recognition,
You never asked for it,
But you needed it, atleast for your family.

You forgave betrayers,
As you always did...
You took tough times with a smile,
And toiled with the same zest,
You were a puritan at all you did,
Perfection in even the mundane chores was your trademark.

You always had a word or two of motivation for all of us,
Your kids were lucky as hell to have you groom them,
Your spouse and relatives adored you for the smile you brought to their faces,
Even when you had your own troubles.

You lived a noble and meaningful life,
You deserved a better end,
God shouldn't have snatched you away from us....
So soon, and in a flash....like he did.

May your spirit guide your children and my aunt towards peace,
And happiness,
And success.....
Afterall, thats what you always wanted,
A peaceful and contented family.

I hope you saw from up somewhere,
The tears and cries of despair of all of us,
We just couldn't think,
That you aren't with us anymore,
Don't play your pranks uncle,
Bless us with your jokes, ideas and bread sandwiches sometime soon....
Atleast bless us with the tonnes of goodwill you always had.

Let the world be cleaner,
And let more of your innocence fill this,
This mad, bad world....

Why did that raging Scorpio have to lift you to heaven?
You had so much to offer this impure, opportunist world.

You were a rare GOOD man,
And now you are extinct....
But your spirits and memories live on,
To haunt me and so many of us....

The tie you gifted me last is still my favourite and is a lucky charm,
I will preserve it...like never before, its a promise...
Will I ever do as much to people as you?
I know the answer...and that is what hurts....
