Despite everything
With all the suffering and fighting
And all the pain in this world
You left this earth
And despite all of the broken dreams
Despite all of the struggles and burdens
Despite all of the weight of this world
With the last bit of life left in you
You uttered phrases that no other soul in your place would say
Instead of
"Oh how painful life is!"
You said
"Oh how beautiful life is!"
And it is these very words
that carry me on till the end of time
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
