RIP my child

 

Lord you have taken my sun, my moon, my star.

You have taken my only child, so very far.

Let him now rest his weary head on a cottony cloud.

Please hold him dear, should he call for me out aloud.

 

Lord you have taken my joy, my love, my smile.

Hold his hand Lord, for to adjust he may take a while.

Read him sometime, his favorite bed time story

And let these words go down in history….

 

That his mother cared, his mother grieved

For her child, of whom she was so rudely bereaved.

Rest in peace by child, I will miss you beyond words.

Sleep now baby, to the cooing of Turtle Dove birds.

About Sonal Singh

An author, storyteller, and full-time observer of life’s glorious absurdities. I write humour-laced stories where chaos wears fluffy fur, emotions arrive uninvited, and middle-class Indian households become ecosystems of drama, love, and unsolicited advice. Armed with sarcasm, caffeine, and alarming emotional attachment to stray creatures, I believe compassion is less of a virtue and more of a lifestyle disorder. One that I embrace. When I’m not writing, I’m usually busy running a full-time HR consultancy business, rescuing animals, or trying to maintain dignity while being emotionally manipulated by my pets. Through my literary work, I try to blend humour with heart, celebrating the messy coexistence of humans and non-humans in modern urban India.
