I Have Seen The Sun Rising Again Poem by Frederick Kambemba Yamusangie

(To Papa and Maman Dungu - In memory
of my childhood friend Helene Dungu)

I was and I am still speechless
I can never comprehend
How you are coping
With the loss of someone
That you really love

And also an important person in your life
I have looked at the blue sky,
I have stared at the river Thames,
I have looked at horizon,
I have even consulted books,

Which contain words of wisdom
So I can cheer you up…
But I stopped for a moment
I putted myself into your shoes,
Then I realised that there is

Nothing I can do to create
A diversion to this blow,
To this immense loss,
To this sad news…
But the time would help

So at moment I should force
Myself to remain quiet
Because I know
The time would be the healer
Of your internal wounds

And also I should stop troubling myself
Too much regarding your well-being
Because I know you
You will recover
You will be strong again
I know you have coped with some
Painful moment in your Life,
So I conclude
You will still standing, Regardless…
With confidence,

I can now say:
I have seen the sun rising again
Yes,
I can see it rising again
In your life…
