Gone So Soon Poem by AUTHOR KELLY JUUZ

Gone so soon




In the heart of the eagle,
I see sadness all over
Written bold in the sky
I see, "gone so soon"...
Mama is gone, so soon...
She may have fought death,
When we knew not.
Daa Vaii, many call her,
One who welcomes peace,
One who smiles almost always,
Her joy is unknown and unstoppable.
In a twinkle of an eye, -she departed,
Could it be, she's coming back again?
A question the gods fear to object,
A question conscience hide from us,
A question law never assured.
But, be it however, with a dark heart,
I curse the day she died to exist no more.
I have lost words to thank you enough,
Or to express my love for you...
Though my ink couldn't stop bleeding,
Even as I tried to resist writing eulogies...
The tears flood down the more.
Mama, please forgive me for I never had time to call you,
I thought I was still too young for many responsibilities...
Now, I see, one can't run from a responsibility
But to strife hard, best is not far to unfold.
One thing I have learnt, is more than many I knew.
Mama, peace be your eternal rest in the Almighty God.
