And She Resurrects

She has been in coma for days
Loved ones beg heavens to close the door
She had put smiles on many faces .
Class and color can’t stop her gracious work .

Loved ones beg heavens to close the door,
On a lady of peace and integrity ,
Class and color  can’t stop her gracious work,
At the end she was confirmed gone .

On a lady of peace and integrity ,
Prayers offered for her soul to stay ,
At the end she was confirmed gone ,
Tears flow as she was sent to the morgue.

Prayers offered for her soul to stay ,
Children and adults gathered round her,
Tears flow as she was sent to the morgue,
“Wow! This place is chilly”-she says loudly.

Children and adults gathered round her ,
She had put smiles on many faces,
‘Wow! this place is chilly “-she says loudly
She has been in coma for days .
