Farewell

a poem by Prabha Kurup (Secunderabad)

The moon kisses the sky goodbye,
and night slips into dawn.
The bees hum, the flowers bloom
the birds chirp, to dispel our gloom.
… yet another day passes,
soon we will be on the threshold of life!
When we will have to bid adieu
to all those we loved.
For all good things should come to an end
‘tis nature’s rule that can’t be bent.
