In Memoriam of Mahlet Girma
You fought the battle until the final curtain
You knew the struggle was over and the end certain
You held on to your belief with lack of fear for death
You held on to your love of God until the final breath
You spoke of His love not your own pain
You gave Him thanks and you knew there was no life to gain
Speaking of love but not the condition you disdain
You were brave until the end you showed your strength
We heard your message within your shallow breath
Your face showed the acceptance of your circumstance
You knew you fought the battle you went the distance
No discernible fear no tears to shed
You spoke with bravery and courage from your hospital bed
You left us all with a great message about faith and love
Never worried about yourself and the condition you have
You were a beautiful soul with angelic presence
A woman of courage a lady of essence
Your body may have been weary but your soul was unfeathered
We heard your message clear with the energy you mustered
May the angels of heaven carry you to your resting place
You’ve left to be with the Creator, the One you embrace
The earthly suffering is over while you occupy a heavenly space
