Why Him? ? ? ...Why Him?



Saturday,17th.Feb,2007

The phones kept ringing, non stop
My heart filled with dread
Felt like an explosion
Bursting my heart n head into several pieces
When I heard the news

I stood still for a second
No…it can’t be
Not him
The man I love so much

Rushed off to see if its true
All the way
Praying so hard
Saying its not him
Not him please! ! !

As I enter into the living room
Felt, my heart beat
Rising up to the level
To a tremendous pain
When....
I saw
A humble man
Peaceful look
Lying... breathless….
Infront of me!

I ran up to him
Kneeled down
With gentle stroke on his forehead
A kiss on his soft cheeks
I held him up
His head upon my chest
Shaking his body hard
Trying to wake him up
Sadly I begin to weep
Couldn’t hold my tears

He is not gone
This is not true….it can’t be true
I’m here
Talk to me….

He will talk to me
He loves me
Please say something
Please..! ! !
I want to hear your voice!

Looked up at the sky
Screamed out to man above

Why him?
Why him?

I was huged tight by your grandsons
Not wanting to see their mummy
Screaming in pain….. lost you! !
Afraid of…… losing me! ! !

PA….PA.

I have lost u, didn’t I?
Am I cursed papa?
More sorrow and pain?
Please forgive me, for not being there
With you and for you
When u needed me, the most
Please forgive me…please! !

The famous medicine man
Who have worked so hard
For his family….
With so much love to give

Now stays
In Among the birches
In a field away from man,
Is a small grave yard
Holding the history of his life
He rests there
I stand alone here
Immersed in this sadness
Staring at the bright and clear sky
Imagining you looking down at me

Hearing your words in my thoughts
And
I promise I will do your part
Like you want me to
I PROMISE PA….

REST IN PEACE ….PAPA
I LOVE YOU….
