You’ve
had a good life –
You’ve
left a maverick mark
On
the modern sands of education;
A
lot of people respect you
A
lot of your students adore you; you’ve made a little of a lot of students,
You’ve
had French Café atmosphere times with the
aroma of intellectual stuff
you’ve
enjoyed the world with your camera
you’ve
lived and loved and laughed till you cried.
So
be happy …. You ought to be
It’s
only a few people who could have enjoyed life like you did.
I
suppose you could have run other things too
May
be better than others.
But
when, if you could have done it then
You
can do it now too.
At
least
In
a different way, through a different role,
With
or without official badges.
It’s
the things done which matters, yes?
Do
it Sam. Make a difference
Start
an organization like Cry – perhaps.
Make
it work.
Make
me more proud of you.
Come
to think of it, for whatever little, it may mean to you
I
never interacted like this, with anyone else
In
the whole of the universe,
The
soul of Sam means the most to me.
Since
you came into my life,
Life
has become heady like champagne ( J I’ve
never tasted it but…)
I
wish I could tell you
How
much I like you
Or
may be, just may be
You
feel the same way
And
so you know.
If
at the end of life
If
all souls are free and asked
To
choose their own heaven
If
God were to say to me
‘you’ve
been good,
What
do you want?’
I
would say – ‘Sam”!
