The Departing Soul Poem by Adolf Baloyi

With a smile you lied and gave me hope to hold on. With your smile you lied, to make me look forward to another day. Oh' death, how ruthless can you be to arrive at Sun Rise.

I'd sleepless nights of prayers, in anticipation that forces of light and life would give us more time to share the laughter. Oh' death, you're indeed a destroyer of inner peace.

I must admit...I saw and witnessed your pain and all you went through. I wished I could help but all I could do was to whisper words of hope into your ears through prayers.

I felt you slipping out of my hands through the emptiness deep into my soul. Treasured be your beautiful smile up in the blue sky giving me hope to move on.

How the universe has blessed me with you as a wife, a mother and grandmother to our beautiful and precious kids.

It will be a joyful moment the morning we meet at Sun-Rise. Were we will have eternal joy, laughter, smiling knowing nothing will ever do us part.
