Shriti Deb

Peace, my heart, let the time for

the parting be sweet.

Let it not be a death but completeness.

Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.

Let the flight through the sky end

in the folding of the wings over the nest.

Let the last touch of your hands be

gentle like the flower of the night.

Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a

moment, and say your last words in silence.

I bow to you and hold up my lamp

to light you on your way.

Rabindranath Tagore

Shriti will be lovingly remembered by her friends and family.
