Heal Me Slowly

Heal me slowly, O death, heal me slowly
Leave me the day's dying light
Come for me gently in the night
Heal me slowly, O death, heal me slowly
Leave me a little while my pain
Let me watch a sun set again
Heal me slowly, O death, heal me slowly
The scent of new-born summer lingers
Mingles with winter's cold fish fingers
Heal me slowly, O death, heal me slowly
Let me taste one more mango
Leave me to dance another tango
Heal me slowly, O death, heal me slowly
Come for me gently in the night
Leave me the day's dying light
Heal me slowly, O death, heal me slowly

Such a wonderful poem, I really enjoyed reading it, death is something we don t have our control over, it will come even before we realize it and that pain will be more than anything, but remember that this life is only a test, we need to pass it, we need to do good deeds and make God pleased, and once again, a really beautifully written poem
