She has gone,
Vanished in an instant,
In a traumatic moment,
Time slowed down for those left behind
Shock,
Disbelief,
Grief,
Left in her wake.
That gentle soul,
That slow tender smile,
That age-weathered visage,
That cheery heart-felt laugh,
Quickly quietened with her hand.
The passing of a heart full of forgiveness
Full of faith in the One
Leaving behind a legacy
Attempting and failing,
To live up to an ideal,
My grandmother, Sitti* Aminah.
*Sitti is the Arabic title for grandmother.
