A Letter To The Grave Poem by Nana Sampson

A Letter To The Grave



Hello mama
My hrt has searched through soft stars that shines at night
Wobbled in hope fr yrs
Within which im most at times lost in tears
Frm childhood's hour; ive nt been
As others were; ive nt seen
As others saw; a mother's care that thrills
And felt the love that fills
The valleys of solitude and of disdain
I stand at ur grave and cry
You dd nt die
I stand at ur grave and weep
With deep scars n pains that dd nt sleep
Im sorry ive left u alone
In that world of the unknown
From sans of time
15yrs down the line
I read my hrt out through this letter
Frm the prodigies of the worlds grtest mama
With passions frm a common spring
Frm the same source I hv nt taken
My sorrow; I cld nt awaken
My hrt to joy at the same tone;
All I loved, I loved alone
All I learnt, I lrnt alone
All my battles, ive fought alone
Frm every depth of good n ill
Remains the mystery which binds us still;
Frm the torrent, or the fountain
Frm the isolated red cliff of the mountain
Frm the lightning in the sky
As it passes me flying by
To the highest height, or deepest depth
To the gentle autumn rains
To the diamond glints on winter snow
'A wise man never knws all;
Only a fool knws everythn'
Ds legacy of urs id pass on to ur grandchldrn
Till we meet again
May Jehova keep u in His graceful bossom



Ur son
Nana Sampson
