Thank you to Carlton Braganza for singing at the Carlton Towers memorial.Couldn't be a better expression of our feelings for Akhil now:
Gone Too Soon
Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
Thanks also to Michael Jackson for a great rendition!
Dear Nithya,
ReplyDeleteFlipping through my prized collections, I came across this prayer that my daughters had once given me.
Today, we dedicate it to you.
We said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard,
We felt the answer in our hearts
Although He spoke no word.
We didn't ask for wealth nor fame
We know you wouldn't mind,
We asked Him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind.
We asked that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day,
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way.
We asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small,
But it was for His loving care
We asked for most of all.
Neha, Nikita & Kala Kudva
