15th February 2010 Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

15th February 2010



The glass fell down and broke into pieces,
Then i knew that something was wrong somewhere;
For yesterday was Valentine's Day and,
Your mother died on the same day.

The news came in and it made me sad,
Because your mother died on the 14th of February 2010;
But sad as it was,
She was immediately buried on the 15th!

Of the tree which was in the garden and was desirable for food,
But Valentine's Day came in and took her away;
And she is gone forever.
Oh, what has been sweet is now soar!
For you can now see the tears in my eyes;
And like the thorns and the thistles of the tree nearby.

15th February 2010,
Today i am made a citizen in a foreign land!
But your mother's death have taken the spoon out of my mouth,
And it is like sadness and joy.

Wise and knowledgeable men and women,
This news had brought tears in my eyes;
And i am now like a horse and its rider,
But on a narrow path to find my way home.
