A Letter To Evelyn! Poem by Martin Greyford

Dear Evelyn,
It's been four months now
Since the time you answered God's call.
I never knew what it felt like to be lose someone
You love not until I lost you.
I could attend other funerals way back
But since the time you left me,
It has been hard for me to attend burials,
Not even church funerals.
It hurts me the most seeing people
Pay their last respects to their loved ones,
Cause I think of you lying in that brown casket
With your eyes closed and ears deaf.
Seeing others lower their loved ones in the grave
Reminds me of you, how they lowered you,
But don't worry Evelyn,
I'll be fine and I'll learn to copy without you.
It does hurt me for I only knew you
For days and for days you did leave me.
I believe you are okay where you are
And your three children are all okay.
Wish you had lived to see your grandchildren.
Rest in peace my dear Evelyn,
My sweet Aunty.
