Life Has Its Reasons Poem by shirani ibrahim

See You Again The Name Of Life’s Game
What in the world do you do when you awake one morn,
And the silence tells you the kids and grandkids are all gone.
Dear God…was it so long ago they were just babies in my arms?
Now gripping with fear I remain in silent prayer to protect them from harm.
Their voices, the laughter, the screams and all the many shared.
Drives me to pick the phone and tell them they are still cared?
The memories of the cupcakes, the pumpkin pie and the various pastries,
Missing them all, they were made to perfect taste, those savories.
And the laptops lying around an ache in my heart, that feeling so blue,
Rooms all empty. so deserted, and will you know what to do? …
It’s a feeling so hopeless as the hands of the clock keeps ticking by
Oh yes life has its reasons, as we take different paths and only God knows why!
