A Love Not To Be Forgotten
A love not to be forgotten
After the disaster, after the misery
Little sister of mine begged my dad for chicks
He tried to convince her what a bad idea it is
How a hard caring takes to keep them alive
How a rise in temperature or decrease in temperature
May cause their death.
She didn’t get convinced, she is so stubborn
So dad said louzana so do you want one?
I my voice was weak, my sorrow increased, and I said no...
I went to the room, tried to study, and then fell in tears
I couldn’t imagine how life is without him
I couldn’t let go of him, I couldn’t believe he was gone
Dad, sisters came, six chicks they brought
Dad the room entered; told me the news:-
I two chicks have brought you
I smiled untruthfully at him and went to take a glimpse
Six chicks sticking together seeking warmth; their sight softened my heart
Gave a feather to my stone -frozen soul
I looked at them, carried them out of their box resistance
They started to poo, the other drinking the pee of another
They seemed stupid and small
The room called I went back to it
2nd day, somehow better, selected two of then and marked them red and blue
3rd day , took one-hundred and something pics of them.
Day 4 , someone died.
Day 5, someone died .
Day 6, someone died .
Day 7:- blue disappeared and was gone.
Day 8:- three were left: red, green and green
My love grew wider to red, he started to love me
He started to sleep in my palm, and run after I go
I love you red, forever, and eternity
I gave them all the love I can afford
My sister made a woolen jacket for him
He wore it and slept in it a thousand times
The days past and his strength became sightless and the day became darker,
I looked at his little- small yellow face
And see him trying to sleep on his fellow friend green
Three days past, and he continued his suffering in them day by day, hour by hour, second by
second, breath skipping breath
The days in their youngness and the chick in his last age…
My tears fell from the breath-taking scene and heart rending moment
I prayed and cried and begged and lied, what shall I do?
The 3rd day first morning woke up, the maid threw him away; found him all over ants,
All without breath.
I knew this day would come but I never thought it’d be too close
I never wanted his death to be too slow
But this is life, some people die, others are meant to stay
Don’t know what is comin, feelin some guilt, never know who’d be the one
Who would stay and share a partnership of a lifetime
