There is a plan far greater than the plan you know;
ReplyDeleteThere is a landscape broader than the one you see.
There is a haven where storm-tossed souls may go-
You call it death - we call it immortality.
You call it death - this seeming endless sleep;
Why weep at death? This is immortality.
Farewell, Dear Rtn.R.Rajagopal.
No doubt, we WILL miss you,
But your work is done - now may peace rest with God.
Your kind thoughts and deeds- they will live on, forever.
This is not death - this is immortality.
Farewell, Dear Rtn.R.Rajagopal - the river winds and turns;
The rythem of your song drifts near to me,
And now you know the thing that all men learn:
THERE IS NO DEATH : THERE IS IMMORTALITY.

Mr.R.Rajagopal is one among the person who has joined me as a member at the Rotary club of Madurai West. He has often contacted me through phone, Though he was elder than others he behaved as a friend to all members.
