Notes About The Poem

" ETERNAL LOVE " MY PHOTO, ©

Thrice Death

Thrice death has knocked at the same door

Husband, wife, brother are all gone

Fell victims to COVID-19, which I abhor

Thus all have seen eternity's dawn!*

* I am mourning today the death of another member of my family who 
passed on yesterday following the death of his sister and his brother-in-law. 
At the same time, a first cousin has been rushed into an intensive care unit of COVID-19. 
   
NOTE: THE FIRST COUSIN DIED TODAY - 11 JULY 2021. HE IS THE 4TH MEMBER OF THE SAME FAMILY THAT COVID-19 CLAIMS IN THREE MONTHS AND THE SIXTH OF MY IMMEDIATE FRIENDS THEREFORE I DO NOT FEEL WRITING POETRY FOR THE TIME BEING. GOD KEEP YOU  SAFE. TAKE CARE.
