194 My 30th Leaf
194.
My 30th Leaf
Got Thee from flower
Yellow in color
Décor funeral
Until for burial
Leaf “chrysantemunm”
Handled by nephew
With some flowers few
For cousin who died
While some people cried
With neighbors and kin
Novem. Twenty-One
So hot was the sun
Three o'clock about
Requiem mass we're out
While slowly walking
Near the entrance way
Where tombs nearby lay
Dumarao graveyard
Sarcophagus hard
Towards our clan's graves
Bye Toto Eldie!
No more we see thee
Hope meet you again
There up the heaven
Farewell, my cousin.
