Poem
How sad! How bad I didn't know, I just found out Your lovely daughter, she spat it out Nine years had flown by I did not know you were going to die Even when we reconnected you were braver than I You with an incurable illness, knowing you would soon die I heard you coughing on the phone You sounded so bad, I didn't want you to get worse I didn't want to picture you in a box in a hearse So I let you go in the hope that you would recover, be well enough to speak to me When I disconnected the phone, it hit me like a flash My cutting our conversation short was rash You knew your end was in sight Yet you wouldn't give up hope, you put up a good fight You were an amazing friend, a great mum and a good wife Yet God saw it fit and He called you to be by His side Your oncologist was a jerk, he lied You went to hell and back with chemo, radiotherapy and other treatments that were never going to work I hate that you suffered so much, I went berserk Fury at what they put you through only to tell you it had all been in vain In the end, you went through more and more pain Why I say can't anyone be honest in this life? You could have spent more time with your children and your husband who was your world in this life The shock of hearing you passed was too much to bear The reality of it gave me a scare Now you're gone and I think of you every day I wish I could comfort your children more, but they are too far away I wish I could hug them and tell them it will be ok Did fate intervene at some point in time? I'm only able to express my thoughts and feelings when I sit down and rhyme I was speechless when I heard the sad news And today is the first time I don't have the blues Goodbye is not the right word Because you've departed from this world You're in my heart and you're there to stay All I can do now is pray and pray
