Death – Page 8 – Hearts Still Care

Goodie Pua

I couldn’t dress you,

The way you wanted to shine.

I couldn’t touch you,

I couldn’t do your hair up fine.

We spoke of death and love,

Before you were taken away,

I really did all I could;

But oxygen blew you away.

You were my only Father!

Of all in the family, beloved you!

You’re left now, with all the rest,

My home, my childhood, my truth.

A pandemic
one can deal with –
All heartbreaks
are quite chaotic!

If only
washing hands
helped –
The Lady
wouldn’t turn psychotic.

If chemo worked,
Where would faith go?
Pain would end.
Cancers wouldn’t grow.

Love might work
To cast hope even now,
Shining like a diadem
On a mortal brow.

Death keeps both
Faith and love in check,
With a noose
Around the neck.

Time to stop
Fighting the good fight;
And gracefully,
Walk into night.
