This poem is written in memory of my favourite aunt Michelle Pompey. She died on 31.12.2009
It has been Two years since I got the call
Two years since I didn’t want to believe it at all
Two years since I hated immediately forgiving the one who was responsible for your death.
Knowing that’s what you will want from us best.
Two years of me looking at your picture and asking God why
Two years of me realizing I will never see your smile
Two years of me wishing you had more time
Two years of you not being here
Two years without your voice
Two years without your laughter
Two years of me still crying like a baby
Two years without my favourite aunt in the world.
Two years filled with memories of you
Two years filled with things I want to tell you.
Two years of me remembering the happiness in your voice when you said “ I got saved today.”
Two years on your birthday I asked God to tell you I said ‘Happy Birthday’
Two years of me praying to God to bring you back
Two years of God saying ‘Shamara I can’t do that.’
Two years of God making me realize that your work on earth is done.
Two years since I realized that its best that you are with God, there will be no danger or harm that will come to you.
Two years of me thinking ‘Hey Aunty Michelle I hope you are having fun.’
Today makes it two years and I am still crying, I thought it will heal in time but I guess two years won’t do it. Love you Aunty Michelle.
