Lost Bubbles For A Friend

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…
