 Goodbye

The Iranian
goodbye laleh, goodbye ladan
i've just heard from the cnn man
you will be missed enormously
though you'll be with us eternally
true you looked at the world askew
it was the world that looked at you
courage and determination we knew
by just seeing your faces on Yahoo!
you leave a lot of loved ones behind
and strangers that you never knew
deciding now to go under the knife
after many years of veritable strife
knowing the risks you knew well
that you may not wake up again
or what if one of you survived
how could the other play the part?
two lives entwined for 29 years
for a moment apart would not live
through hardships how you elevate!
we must not but your life celebrate
tears will flow for your brave souls
as you mingle among the star shoals
goodbye laleh, goodbye ladan
the world misses you --
but smile we can!
