She never knew
It was today her eyes
Would say goodbye
The last breath she took
Cherished well by her body
The next moment, her
Her heart forgot its rhythm
It rested silently
Her golden days
Passed before her eyes
That sweet smile and laughter
That promise she made at the altar
Would now all be a bliss
Would the people she loved ever know
How much she adored them
How much regret she holds
For not dying under a bullet
She was ready to take for them
But Alas !
All that never mattered to the body lying still
Cold and blue
Now down she goes
To be one with the mother
Adorned in flowers and tears
Away from her people
Her children and generations
Crying at her feet
Would it matter now to the body
Or to the soul that resides
Between the mortals
The small children whispered
\" Why is Granny hiding in a hole,
Now, who could feed her soul?\"
