Accidentally or destiny
You walked into the neighbourhood
Some years back.
Became the Pet of all
The Protector of the
Cul de sac.
Escorting neighbours
And chasing away the unwanted elements
Day or Night.
Like all of us
Even you must have wished
If you had wings too when monkeys
Invade your own Domain.
You left us on a very auspicious day
And were buried with so much care
By your neighbourhood friends.
Your eyes were closed then
So you may not have seen
But there was none
Who did not shed tears?
Among the crowd.
You gave us protection
And Joy and
Most importantly
An Opportunity for us to
Earn more merits
In this journey of Life.
May you be blessed with
A better Birth
Next time around
With all the accumulated
Merits.
Until we meet again
In a better place
And in better circumstances
We say Good Bye
සුදු හාමිණේ
