MINA'S EULOGY - POEM
Goodbye my dear angel, don’t look back!
It took some time to regain your wings,
your last years were real nightmare,
you have been through too many things.
It’s too late now to change your path
or blame the saints for such mistakes,
for all the forks put on your path;
nothing will erase the past or wipe its marks.
Those scars were meant to stay in place
as a reminder of the war you fought
between the worlds that you
were trapped and forced to live in.
Your last months on this earth
were worse than a quick descent
into the burning depths of hell,
it was worse than giving birth.
Despite all that, you never said a word
or fought back for your life
which was hanging by a thread
you wanted to have cut.
Don’t know how you coped with
the pain and burning for so long
without a touch of morphine,
suffered in silence as a dog.
Now that you’re gone, I finally
understand why you chose to stay
and not complain about the delay;
it was for your kids and not yourself.
Your curly hair, your perfect smile
the dimples on your cheeks, your warm laughter
is all that’s left once you passed away,
a memory that I will forever cherish .

YOur welcome
Quite beautiful but also emotional - and very touching. Sometimes words like this can mean so much to different people in many ways - the sentiments can mean something to others without you ever realising how. Thank you for sharing, this meant many things to me.

Well done indeed, an emotional touching poem full of pain and reality. This is sad but you felt this for someone one time or another we all deal with death unfortunately. Be well my poet friend @lymepoet
Thank you. You are right. We think we are prepared for it, but the truth is, we never are.
