Good Bye, Sofie Poem by Herbert Nehrlich
Good Bye, Sofie
A life fulfilled at last,
adventure in her veins
she left behind a past
a Fatherland's own chains.
And made a life, renewed
well filled with strength and love
a mother, kind and shrewd,
with guidance from above.
A man can hope to be
to all a friend indeed,
a mother makes you tea
to ease your time of need.
And mothers have a gift
to hold the coldest hand
and call you, when adrift
while making no demand.
Forgiveness is a word
that needs no scrutiny
her children's voices heard
be happy and be free.
She's walked a road of changes
yet knew to lift her foot
across dividing ranges
that fate itself had put.
One day her feet grew tired
she thought it would be best
and, one last time inspired,
she chose the final rest.
This is a most beautiful and deeply touching poem Herbert. A fitting and lasting tribute. Best wishes, Andrew
