Reflection & Prayer poem for the unexpected passing of Samarn Ya, a dear friend, at Cathoic Community Services, last 04/05/19. She had been the VERY FIRST OFFICE-FRIEND I was provileged to cherish in the last 1 1/2 years of my stay in WA, U.S. She was the first to welcome me warmly, supported me & helped me integrate mysef in this very diverse workforce. Our friendship helped me survive the first few years of adjustment. I could not imagine what it would be like without having an "angel" around ... But, then, as the cliche' always goes, angels fly back to heaven, I guess ... Just made me believe more that angels come in different forms to help you be strong in your journey & when you can be on your own, sadly, they may fly away. However, I know, they will always be watching over me...
Lost Bubbles for a Friend
What is going on in your heart & mind now?
Are you still in pain? Or are you relieved?
Are you as confused as I am now?
Watching over you, still denying what I see?
Aren’t you asking “why, oh why”?
“Is this happening … Is this really the last?”;
“What are the words unsaid… stories unraveled
And messages you could have withheld…”?
Why was it so quick, my friend?
There were certainly signs I missed
I cannot fathom; I can only cry…
Whispering words that you may never hear…
But then … don’t you not
Coz, probably, you’re here & you can
Strong, smiling, .… happy
Trying to wipe all these tears away
For soon there would be a light
Beautiful & bright….
Walk to it, my friend, don’t look back
For our prayers will keep your memories alive
Then, float & claim your wings
Dance in every way you’ve wished
But, please, in your heart, spare some prayers
For us, who’ll miss you faithfully…
