For fifty years I walked with you,
Through rising dawns and evenings too.
Your bangles sang, your sari swayed,
My gentle hands your fears allayed.
Five long years I wept alone,
An empty bed, a hollow home.
Your laughter lingered in the air,
Your fragrance whispered everywhere.
Now heaven’s gates swing open wide,
I run to you, no more divide.
You stand adorned in silken grace,
The same affection lights your face.
I see your eyes, still warm, still kind,
The love I lost, again I find.
Your touch dissolves my years of pain,
Together whole, we live again.
No mortal grief, no earthly tear,
Could dim the bond that brought me here.
In timeless skies our spirits blend,
Our love unbroken, without end.
-Jairam Kshirasagar
