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*
