A tribute to Papa on 1st June 2025

Tribute to Papa on June 1

My father-in-law Shri Vidya Prakash Singh was a remarkable person - with quiet strength and wisdom of a saint. He passed away in AIIMS on the 1st June 2003 after a brief struggle with pancreatic cancer. A tribute to him on his 22nd Punyatithi


22 years rolled by yet your memories are fresh

You stood in our lives like a strong buttress 

With a quiet strength and wisdom of a saint 

You waded through life without complaint


Unconditional acceptance was key to your life 

Be it people, situations, positions or strife

You gave your best to what came your way

Your approach always exercised positive sway


With malice to none and affection for all

To this Papa, you make, even tallest small

Your laughters and chuckles brought smiles

Memories are fresh as we walk our miles 


You left us so soon, leaving a big hole in our hearts

We miss you Papa, your memory never ever departs

In our memories and life, you stand tall like a colossus

Like a true guardian angel forever watching over us 


Today we pay a heartfelt tributes to our ideal

Drawing strength and lessons from the real

Rare are those who leave legacies profound

You were one whose strong memories abound
