In Memoriam

She came like a breath of air Made her impacts on the sands of time Those cherished laughs and smile Gone to behold no more The time so long But short it is How I long for your Presence To lighten my mood You were imperfectly perfect What a smile... God cherished you with In a split second It lights up a room What a generosity you were gifted with I hardly found faults in you An epitome of benevolence Who am I to blame you For leaving so soon When the ovation was loudest You were a ray of hope When all seemed lost You are a testament to not how long But how well Though I long for that smile Never to be seen no more Though I long for that day Hoping to come across you Though I wish at times To glance at your shadow if just for a day But never to be seen no more Your life was toyed with By our negligent drivers... Days of crying never brought you back They wanted to urinate was all that is responsible for this Leaving...there responsibilities Endangering peoples lives on the highway Alas the truck of death was close by Ramming into you In the car And snuffing the innocent life out of you ....Thought you survived For days I had hope In the midst of hopelessness You were not a victim Alas the danger had been done Your gentle spirit Could not fathom the fright Stealing you away .. From this earth untimely... Drops of tears... Have not helped my course The pain I feel Is measurably immeasurable ...Your body spreadth on the highway Like a bedsheet laid.. Ready to be slept on... Who can I hold Who can I fault... Just have to accept it As the will of God... Though you are no more You live in our hearts... Your impact will never be forgotten I hold on to the fact With hope that you are with christ Cause that's what make me Hopelessly hopeful... That's what wipes my tears In those dark moments.... Till that day... When the maker shall appear In the sky.. Sleep well.. How I wish my stream of tears... Will just run dry... Missing you hopelessly 12yrs seem like yesterday Like yesterday it will always seem Cause you will always be engraved in my heart Till that day..I hope to see you When christ shall return.. And we will live to die no more And reign with him eternally *to my cousin who lost her life in a ghastlly motor accident*

Such deep sadness and tragically a true story. I am so sorry, but a tribute as this, shows how much you care. " Imperfectly perfect" I love how you said this......something that speaks the truth about each one of us. Best wishes to a loving family.
