Why Her Poem by Wensislaus Mbirimi

I sit
Pondering on life, its unfairness
Soon my love will be gone, my heart will wilt
No pity
Lord God, love discovered so soon
Why end it before its bloom

Only in June your nineteen we celebrated
Fancy; to friends your love you promised
2000, new era, a marriage promised
How were we to guess
The man higher up had his plans

Angel
Jokingly I said you fell from the sky
New millennium, supposed new beginnings
All hopes now gone, I can only sigh
I love you
Still someone else loved you more
That's why to heaven you are being recalled
Still I love you
My angel

Mine faith in life is dashed
Seems I have been everywhere, done everything
So why do I end up with the key to the garbage can
Memories still linger
Yesterday's joys, today's sadness, all tomorrow's memories
We met yesterday, we have today, why be gone tomorrow
It's all memories, poignant memories

I can only dream
Mine life a waking dream
A waking nightmare it now is since the news
What life could have been were we to choose
Can only now be a dream
Why did it have to be you dear
Chosen to star in this nightmare

Life dealt me a bad card
Still I see you in earthly grace, rising to heavenly amazing grace
I feasted yesterday, I'm famished today
Still I don't doubt your goodly countenance takes you to heaven
Your pretty looks do so too
Dear why did it have to be you
