Please Don't Cry For Me Poem by SIYETHEMBA THWALA

.
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
.
I know we have been closed
We used to share everything
I know you will remember the hands we use to fold
I lift my eyes against the sky
The clouds are weeping, so am I?
I lift my eyes again on high
The sun is smiling, so am I?
So why should you cry?
.
Miss me a little but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me but please let me go
For this journey that we all have to take
And each of us must go alone
Please don't cry for me
.
This is a step on the road to home
When you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Sadness flies away on the wings of time
A wounded deer leaps highest
But know that I belong deeply to myself
So please don't cry for me
.
Please accept that I'm gone
And don't even put a blame to God
Just prepare yourself and praise the Lord
Because your day is also coming
Don't look this fuming
Its not good for your health
Because now I have started my path
.
As I lay here staring out of the window
Our memories flowing through my mind
I see you holding back as a tears hits the pillow
Scared of thoughts you might find
As I used to tell you that you will be stronger tomorrow
If I would come back but until then
Please don't cry for me
.
Now it is time for paying my sins
As time to you would heal all things
When one door closes, another opens
The weak can never forgive
Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong
Some of us think holding on makes us strong
But sometimes it is letting go
.
I know I never said I'm leaving
I never said goodbye
I was gone before you knew it
It broke my heart to left you
But knows that I didn't left you alone
As a part of me is still with you
.
Don't grieve for me for now I'm free
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play
I found the peace at the close of the day
.
Be not burdened with my times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy
Now I have to go and meet my bloodline
I promise I would be a great ancestor
So please don't cry for me
.
