The giant tree
The clouds flowing by
Shaded with magenta colour
Sleeping petals rested on
Green grass,
Giving the message of
another day's end
In this lonely graveyard
Kneeling near your grave
Where you are resting calmly
I'am your eldest daughter
My dear father
You are not all alone
You were the giant tree
Which gave us shelter and courage
You were our guide star
To me, my brothers and sisters
You never showed love with words
But your love and kindness
Could not be compared
The wrapping cold and darkness
Remind me to return home
So my dear father
May I step away with
My heavy heart filled with your memories.
Malkanthi Gunathunga
