5th year remembrance of Balasingham Santhampillai,
formerly of Uyirththarasan Kulam, Mannar, and later a resident of Thirunelvely, India.
Though five years have swiftly passed, Your memories have not left our hearts. You remain our loved one, Our everlasting remembrance.
Even after five long years, You live on with us Like a portrait time has painted In every moment of our lives.
We waited, hoping you would return, But now we see you only As a star among the skies.
Our dearest father, so full of love, You gave us names from the first letter of the alphabet, And now, without you, We are like kites cut loose, Tossed about by the wind.
No matter how many years may pass, Your memories will never fade from our hearts.
As long as our hearts beat,
You will be the flame that lights them, dear father.
