Epitaph for a Lamb

 
Tingo was our remaining Baby Doll Lamb, Martyred at age three by a hungry dog.
Tingo as a Baby

Last night, lieing in bed
Before drifting off to sleep,
My usual time to sweetly commune with the Gurus,
A saintly Bhagat soul visited me,
A dear friend,
From our lifetime with Guru Nanak.

Only he looked curiously like a black lamb!
It was, indeed, Tingo,
In her true incarnation
As a beloved of the Guru,
Coming back to thank me for giving fun, loving care
During his lifetime under my protection,
A lifetime fulfilled, martyred for a cause,
For which he, she, it
Was born.

No more tears!
We laughed at the cosmic play
At the fact that I rode on his back
For a few moments!
I happily kissed my pillow,
His lamb belly,
Fat now, as then!
So soft and cuddly,
My dear friend,
Home again!
