In Time Poem by Tebogo Angela Poen

So close, yet so far away
So long, yet time could not wash away
Tears i've spent everyday
Everyday respects I pay
Time flies, yet memories stay
I still pray
that all i've forgotten to say
To wherever your spirit is May find its way
What's eroded and decomposed is just clay

That's what you taught me
That the flesh diesbutbthe spirit lives eternally
So this is not a letter inked with agony
For yiu're still alive I know surely
Everyday I see us a step closer to you slowly
Well I can't really say that this has Ben an easy journey
Or a light burden to carry
But one thing I know
After all this misery and pain
When our spirits get to meet again
We shall forever sing the songs if victory

I know I've held on for too long
Refusingnto let go
I was never that strong
I know it's wrong
Against everything you believed in
I couldn't help it
To see you again I verily long
I cannot wait to sing you all my journey experience songs

I can't lie, I got used to having you around brother
Hence I thought you'd hang around a little longer
The pain of loss was introduced to my soul by your departure
That was the first time I ever came to know what it was like to lose a loved one
I came too close to losing myself too
The pain was too much to bare

So this is the last letter
So many left unsaid and undone, but it doesn't matter
I believe the place you at is so much better
So my tears will not go any further
For I believe one day we shall be together.

You are still remembered.
