~ A Tribute to Chitta ~

This is a poem which my friend's dad wrote after his brother(my friend's uncle) passed away. It is a poignant tribute to a brother and more importantly, closest friend!!!

~ A Tribute to Chitta ~

This is the story of a Simple Boy…
who gave many people so much Joy,
He did not aspire for Riches or Power…
but he won hearts with his Gentle Demeanour,
He did not wish to be in the Limelight…
but to serve silently like the Quiet Night,
Words cannot express this Humble Soul…
who gave so much from his Heart’s Core.
Born to loving parents who doted Him,
He returned their love doubly with his trademark Grin;
With his childhood friends he had a very close Bonding,
which had camaraderie and belonging that was so Astounding;
His employees saw him as very Upright and Diligent,
and his colleagues found a gem who was never Negligent.
He played the game of hockey…
Like he played the game of life…
Not knowing whether he would win or lose…
But simply enjoying the moments he passed through.
God made him but with one purpose,
To spread joy through his Innocence…

To his family he was a loving Father and a doting Husband,
and they never had to care when he was around.
To his daughter he gave all his Love,
And his son got as much and more.
What else could he give his loving wife..?!!!
But his presence forever by her side.
Alas, Fate had something else planned,
And took away from us this Darling Lad
Why it happened will remain Unknown,
But his void will be forever Known.
His soul will be surely at Peace
Knowing that we love him with so much Grace.

Adieu My Friend, for you have lived a wonderful Life…
…and left only sweet memories which will eternally remain with us.
-From Friends…
