my late wife
Monday,12th November 2018

 

Almost year is over
when she was declared no more
We all wept over her demise
it was a total surprise

 

No one imagined
that she shall be dead
almost ready to leave hospital next day 
but that was not to come in her way

 

"I feel fine " but I want to come home
"yes, yes we all shall welcome"
I gave her word and went back 
but in the night, she got the heart attack

 

I felt dumbfounded
I could not shed
even tears but broke down 
as she had already gone

 

what to say and what to feel!
she went there at His will 
I feel lonely and bodily shaken 
people come and console but she is not forgotten

 

Such a thing can remain as the memory
as the ish of an almighty 
We all have to obey and reconcile
I just look at her smile
