Gone Forever Poem by Charity Nduhiu

Gone forever never to hear any
of our cries but your memory is
in us forever many are times
when your memories haunt me at
night and wish you could tell me
some wise words of wisdom but i
know you are gone forever

As your first child i have held
the others together as one give
them advice and have kept peace
in your family as you taught me
i promise to maintain peace within
us even if you are gone forever

Discipline you bestowed in me when
young and the character i acquired
from my grandfather has totally made
me who i am today to always forecast
on development prosperity and maintain
peace even if you are gone forever

we are mothers of one another
whenever we have issues within us we
jointly solve together your
mother who is our grandmother have
kept the fire burning and we have
taken care of her just as you did
mum you may have gone forever but your
spirit will always remain in us forever
