I lost both my parents on the same date 2 year's apart. Appa(23rd June 2015), 10 year's today & my Amma (23rd June 2017), 8 year's today
Life has never been the same again. I'm orphaned 😢 and left to fend for myself without their guidance and support. I miss them each day everyday.
I penned my feelings in poetry
Inset Photo - A picture of My Parents and me and my brother on Studio Art Ghibli. The original picture was taken in a fair conducted at a school, where they had props.
My Guardian Angels (My Parents)
Ten years have flown, Appa, since your celestial flight,
Eight years since Amma joined you, bathed in eternal light.
June twenty-third, a date etched deep within my soul,
Two years apart you left me, leaving such a gaping hole.
Time's relentless passage, blurring months to years,
Leaves me wondering how I function, battling back the tears.
No one, nothing can replace the warmth of your embrace,
Your memory a poignant echo, in time's fleeting space
I long for your embrace, a comforting, healing hand,
Your presence, an absence, across this weary land.
I long for that sure anchor, that haven safe and deep,
Where unconditional love resided, secrets I could keep.
Each day, I reach for the phone, a familiar, empty space,
To share life's joys and sorrows, with your loving embrace.
My happiness feels incomplete, unspoken and unknown,
A joy dimmed by your absence, leaving me all alone.
A heart unmoored, adrift at sea, where shadows softly play,
No anchor strong, no guiding star, to light a lonely way.
A vast and empty ocean, where solace cannot bloom,
Lost in the icy silence, consumed by deepest gloom.
My heart yearns to see you, my guiding stars above,
The beauty of your presence, a beacon of unconditional and endless love.
Your wisdom lives on, a legacy bright,
In lessons learned, and values held tight.
My guardian angels, ever near, my constant, watchful guide,
Protecting me from harm and fear, forever by my side.
A tender, poignant memory, a love that will not fade,
A parent's bond, a child's deep love, beyond death's shadowed glade.
Though pain remains a whisper, a tender, haunting sting,
Love's melody continues, forever we will sing.
Appa, Amma, forever, etched within our hearts,
In love's eternal embrace, where true devotion starts.
