one year it is!

It’s been a year since you departed,
But it feels like yesterday…
Who says people go away,
Pure souls live in ones heart,
Forever…
As I tread into your room,
I see an outline in white kurta,
twinkling away at me…
As I move my hand across,
Your photo,
I can feel the warmth of your skin…
As I talk to you when I am stuck,
I see direction to go ahead…
Your exemplary perseverance,
Makes me hold on,
in the most uphill moments…
your typical utterances,
echo in my ears…
They say a soul becomes a star,
As I look up,
All I can see is,
A blanket of blessings,
Showering love upon me…
Who says people go away,
Pure souls live in ones heart,
Forever…
