Do not be surprised <br />When she does not respond <br />To your cries of despair <br />She has been there <br /> <br />Do not be shocked <br />When she doesn’t grieve <br />Or cry in funerals <br />Do not be angered <br />By her expressions today <br />or even tomorrow <br />Her face <br />It has seen it all <br />She has seen it all <br /> <br />She watched her husband die <br />Her children die <br />She has watched many die <br />Has consoled many through time <br />Has sang dirges and read eulogies <br />She just cant weep no more <br />Cant cry no more <br />Cant mourn no more <br />She has seen it all <br /> <br />She has seen death many times <br />Death has challenged her many times <br />Many times <br />She has survived <br /> <br />Much earlier <br />When death was new to her <br />She broke down <br />Now <br />She never breaks down <br />She knows it passes <br />She always knows <br />She has seen it all <br /> <br />She can not be blamed <br />For being like that <br />Life has made her like that <br />To witness it all <br />She has seen it all<br /><br />Jack Shaka<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/she-has-seen-it-all/
