Tupur by Rupradha Mookerjee

The petal-soft sweet angel
Before blooming into a flower
Left for her heavenly castle
On Valentine Day’s last hour.

Her smile like a rainbow,
Her eyes full of innocence,
Lord God’s letting her go
Is not done, it’s making no sense.

“Tupur” means the sound of raindrops,
Which is now pin-drop silent,
All the rainfall turned into teardrops,
As to the heaven she went.

(in memory of Tupur, my best friend's 5 year old daughter who passed away on the night of 14th February, 2014)

When someone comes in this world,that gives pleasure.But that one has come to leave this world.It is certain.But when it happen unexpectedly,this thing hurts me very much again & again.Why God manages to happen so ?
I don't know.Can you tell me? Very pitiable condition of this world !
