In Memoriam
COLUMBARIUM THOUGHTS
(For my late mother Eng Neo.)
----------------------------------
Slow loiter here,
Brief moments sight
Solemn my dear --
Death's certain light!
Blood ties shape moods
Here as we glimpse
This surreal good,
Etches that stream.
In life's passage
Through time and space,
Love's a message
That attracts grace.
He who knows "Why?"
Can live and cope
With lows and highs
With faith and hope.
Fine weather greets
Our presence here --
Memorial street
To meet quaint cheer.
Right here we stand,
Gather to see --
Red niche slab can
Old era free.
At last, we see
Rest side by side
Two urns surely,
Calmly abide.
We loiter here:
Family comes
To feel old cheer,
Pray on a psalm.
