Isolated tonight, for the last departure toward the eternal silence
In the infinite space, the voice of God resounds in permanence.
The voice of God, an elixir that delights the core
This divine drink adds freshness and vigor
Lena, summoned, has just left us without saying her last farewells
On the sun’s rays, carried away by radiant angels.
A path scattered with roses by the lovable husband, song of love, poem
Alone, she faced Covid. Hope was her passion, her emblem
Mysteriously, she flew away carried by seraphim with wings of Gold,
To this paradise, to the Virgin, mother of the Creator, the adored Son of God.
Humans on earth are crushed by the darkness of the matter
In heaven, Lena saw herself flooded by the lighting glamour.
Transparency, souls, purity, truth, compassion.
Holiness, contemplation, emotion, goodness, passion.
Lena, precious pearl, darling woman, flame of love, humble
Lena, immortal flower, North Star, golden heart, simple
Lena, dewdrop, rain of flowers, spirit fraternal
Lena, symphonic poem, dream of a summer night, spring eternal
Lena, advisor, inspiring Souheil as his personal muse
In the shadow of the family, intimately she lived, coquetry she use.
Souheil, this humanist poet, courageous, kind, and farseeing
With whom she shared life and love enticing
The affection, the sacrifices, the dedication, the whole existence
Were lived intelligently, mastered, due to her competence.
Lena was the only female presence in this family,
And as in the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and Spirituality.
Lena, you were leaving us to a brighter horizon
You’ll be present, your breath, imprint, and warmth, free of poison.
The children and Souheil by your charm were imbibed
In this home run by love, few norms were not allowed
Your presence, your beautiful eyes, encouraged reading
Your Poet, distraught by your grace, tasted your spiritual feeding
Doe eyes where Souheil sailed for his youth renewing
This passionate Poet in your sphere, wisdom, and prowess displaying.
Your smile so soft on your lips attracts happiness and glares
Smiling! What a divine gift offered by the Creator of noble souls
Your expressions, your face, your character, all your nobility
Your memory, your voice, your footsteps, your pleasant fragrance, your sagacity.
Friends, relatives who don’t want to believe in the beginning, nor in fatality
How quickly the forces of evil alternate, leading to mortality.
Yes, the forces of Satan desiring to destroy the work of the Almighty
Who by his Resurrection overcame death and emerging melancholy.
In the hearts of the faithful and their divine fate, he scattered hope
Christianity, in a rapid expansion, in a rise, in continuous develop
One moment in God’s presence equals eternity alone
Lena was associated with the Spirit of God, Christ our Lord.
It’s only a goodbye, dear Souheil, even after a long absence.
The cycle of Creation is immutable, of God, it bears its essence.
Our faith is clear in Light, Truth, Justice, and Laws
Yes dear friend, the most painful injuries will find their scars
