As I Saw the Coffin Going Down

AS I SAW THE COFFIN GOING DOWN My heart bled My eyes turned red My aunt said My child don't be sad Because of pain I was even losing my brain My tears were like rain Flowed from my eyes now and again I was told this too shall pass And my joy will grow up again like grass To be strong I was told My arms were fold My eyes I closed I prayed to the Lord I prayed to my God As I saw the coffin going down On my knees I fell As I saw the coffin going down I sang with my soul it is well PoeticMonwa
