STOLEN IN A FLASH

... STOLEN IN A FLASH ...

Every now and then, we hear people Die,

And the next question we think is, Why?

We simply wonder, why the rise in Death?

Especially the young, why the loss of Breath?

It's sad after all our struggle and Stress,

All the problems and works that Compress.

The endless challenges and our Sacrifices,

Enduring the embarrassment of the Crisis..

Imagine after nurturing a child to Adulthood,

Doing everything possible that a parent Should..

Spending our much, most, many and our Token,

All the things we have to do that can't be Spoken.

The times when the child becomes frail and Sick,

When they can't eat nor drink through the Week.

They can't join their friends who are in the School

Nor could they play with others at the park or in the Pool..

The moments when our hearts fail our own Hands,

We have to liquidate our assets including our Land

When family and others do their best to PUSH us Away,

We send messages to friends, but they have none to Say..

Even when we can't totally be there for Them,

We can't reach within to help solve their Problem.

Still, they manage to show up for their Children,

To protect them from dangers like a mother Hen..

Our hope is that they'll grow to care for their Parents or Folks,

That's why we pray for them, so someday they'll help break the Yoke..

But then suddenly, without a prior notice, death seems to Snatch,

Like a candle in the wind, the life of the young is stolen in a Flash..

..May this never be our Portion. But to those who may have experienced this, may God continue to give you endless Comfort..
