When you are tempted to say,
"Oh, if I have to, I'll skip my golf game

"I'd love to watch your game today, Sandy,"
or the honesty to decline the request gracefully.

because according too legends it must find its father again.

the father becomes glorified, deified, eroticized,

as man who created a child and then, by his absence,
left the child fatherless and then Godless.

Farewell My Friend
It was beautiful as long as it lasted
The journey of my life.
I have no regrets whatsoever
save the pain I'll leave behind.
Those dear hearts who love and care...
And the strings pulling at the heart and soul...
The strong arms that held me up
When my own strength let me down.
At every turning of my life
I came across good friends,
Friends who stood by me,
Even when the time raced me by.
Farewell, farewell my friends
I smile and bid you goodbye.
No, shed no tears for I need them not
All I need is your smile.
If you feel sad do think of me
for that's what I'll like
when you live in the hearts
of those you love, remember then
you never die.
- Gitanjali Ghei

and our life will become sacred.
