A Celebration of Life
A CELEBRATION OF LIFE
The loss of your Mother:
a feeling of no other,
sadness and sorrow,
tears of grief continue into tomorrow.
Your Mother,
whose pain has ceased, is now at peace.
The afflictions of old-age have been released.
Your Mother,
who gave you birth,
has left her heritage here on earth.
The Circle of Life reigns
as her blood runs through your veins.
Your Mother,
now retired from an earthly life,
nurtured you tenderly as a child.
Her soul now observes
as you provide nutriment to your own, with verve.
Your Mother,
who guided you into adulthood,
has left her mark on this earth,
leaving you with choices for your future worth.
Your Mother
provides you with joyous memories no one can part,
moments in which to create treasuries,
yours to keep close to your heart.
Rejoice! as you applaud a true Celebration of Life!
Smile, as your Mother's memory remains,
...until you meet again.
