Adieu, Dear Brother

My loving tribute in verse to the known actor, director and performer, Satish Kaushik, who has bowed out of the stage of life

The great performer is dead and gone,

Embarked upon a journey to the unknown,

He played his part to the hilt,

He never let his spirits wilt,

He entertained us with his spirit gung-ho,

We will always fondly remember him so,

While life played its game of dice,

He went on with a sparkle in his eyes,

With his ready wit he us regaled,

To tickle our funny bone he never failed,

In his every step he had a spring,

That is why his going on a sudden our heart does wring,

But why should we give in to our grief, our tears,

When even into the other world his charm he wears,

Why should we to his memory do wrong,

When we can hear him bowing out of this world with a song?

Go, friend, go to light up the House of God,

While you will always be a counterpoint to every wretched sod!
