Notes About The Poem
UNDERSTANDING THE DEATH OF A SICKLY CHILD
Joy
Have you ever seen one of those children,
whom were born to die, and they knew it. ?
have you seen the compassion and sorrow
being emitted from their eyes?
Did you notice the child born to die,
had an aura of extraordinary
radiance ,somehow more beautiful than
the healthy child, and seemingly more wise.?
Those sorrowful yet wise eyes
My eyes speak to their eyes.
And ask why ,why the sorrow
their eyes answered my eyes
My sadness is for you;
My eyes speak again;
Why were you born to just come and go ?
Why was I to bore you just to bear
the burden of your leaving.
Why did God place you in my womb
before cutting his own ties with you.?
Why is your human so
breathtakingly beautiful.
Your intellect superb.
Why did God
place you in my womb ?
Did you come to teach me how to love
Did come to show me how to live -?
Or just to remind us that death
is an inevitable angel
sent to help us realize
that tomorrow is not a promise.
Life is not entitled to us no matter
how special we think we are.
We all are just visitors passing through,
spirits occupying the same space in time,
And in a blinking of an eye
we could be gone...Just like that !
I cannot help but feel the
tears heat my cheeks,
As I am still fulfilled by
the joy of your existence
No matter how brief.
As every emotion rushes in,I cannot
help but feel your strength
Now grateful for your visit, and the lesson
you taught me
No matter what I must not worry,
No matter what I must not cry;
One day soon said
his eyes-you'll understand
why, I'm the child-
Who was Born to Die.!
