For The First Time Poem by zama ashley helebe

For the first time
I was part of the men
Who where so brave
That they carried my
Sister’s deceased body
Walking slowly and in silent

For the first time
I was part of the men
Who accompanied her?
Who surrounded my
Sisters last Home
Gathering her Transport as
It descend, slowly and slowly
As it follows the direction
Of its drivers

For the first time
I was part of the men
Who accompanied her
I too throw the soil on her
Wishing her Good luck
On her last journey
For the first time
I sang rhymes for her

Go well sisi
