My poem for my son,daughter in law n grandchildren on the eve of their immigration to UK
As you grow wings
To fly far far away
Leaving the nest which nurtured you
Which was your cosy home so far
Forget you not your old ties
The bonds which are so dear
With all those who were far or near
As you ascend to great heights
In lands hitherto unknown
Forget you not
Your original roots
Keep your eyes and ears grounded
N hear the heartbeats of your loved ones
Whom you leave behind
You will grow
You will mature
Like a flower you will blossom
Spread your fragrance in the world
Which you are going to embrace
Those of us who you leave behind
Will laugh at the thought of good moments spent together
Will also cry
Not with anguish
But with a smile
Cherishing the memories of the wonderful times
Everyday in every moment of our lives
You will stay etched in our thoughts
As we pray to the almighty
For the welfare,progress health wealth n prosperity of a great future
