WHO WILL WEEP FOR NATASSJA…

She lived next door to me for 19 years
Always playing with my children
Where Rik and Subhala were there was Natassja too

Her smile… her beautiful smile
She enjoyed having meals with us together
But always a nervous… haunted look on her face

Parents divorced when she was 3
She had to deal with the suicide of her father at 10
Her mother was an alcoholic

A terrible car accident 3 years ago
Her mother badly injured
Now Natassja had to be the mother

She became so skinny…
I made her vanilla pudding with fresh strawberries
And extra cream… I was so worried about her

And no family around
Only Natassja and her mother
And always the wrong boyfriends

She moved to another village
And we lost contact for a while
Until I moved to the same village

She saw me walking my dog
And suddenly I heard her voice
Greeting me from the other side of the street

She was 6 months pregnant
from the wrong boyfriend
Later I heard… she lost her baby…

Then last week… a phone call from my daughter
Mom… did you hear about the woman
That died after a fall from her apartment?

Mommy…. That was Natassja…

No one knows… if she jumped from the building herself
Or that her 43 year old friend pushed her
during the fight they had…

So now I am asking…
Who will weep for Natassja
The girl… with the beautiful smile

Only 24 years young

Please my friends…
Weep with me for Natassja
So she will never feel alone again

Indeed - This young lady endured much in her few mortal years.  Neeraja, this is the "Announcements" forum - and not really intended for poetry.  We can move this lovely tribute to a poetry forum for you -  Which forum would you prefer?

Neeraja...always know that you did your best
to help a trouble young woman.  My heart goes out to her for her sorrow and pain, and a prayer for her that she will live in God's light; and to you, for your efforts, and your tears.

You did everything you could to make her life better here on earth.
I pray that Natassja finds peace in God's loving arms.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Neeraja, we al weep for your Natassja, sweet friend, no one should ever live a life as harsh as this and those who denied her should feel ashamed of themselves, as Natassja will never be forgotten in any of our hearts and I want to shout from the top of my lungs to the heavens how special she is, and I want her to know that, as now she is finally free and never again will she have to experience that heartbreak! (wipes tears) We are all praying and sending angel hugs f healing to you, sweet friend, God Bless You and Natassja and may she forever rest in peace with love and comfort, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Neeraja, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

...I am weeping... Such a tragic end to a hapless life. She lives on through your moving poetry. Your kindness must have been like a port in the storm for Natassja.

Love, Light & the Eternal Flame,
EA
