Those brilliant smiles lastly seen from you were echoing waves of final goodbyes when your school bus needed to go… Like a complete assurance to return not an ash for silver and gold urns. For the songs you’ve sang on the road were sweet voices ascending to heaven blending with angels and seraphim of the Lord. Crowd mourns in black in excruciating pains for losing you, dear young and innocence. Joyful memories of you in our hearts remain As your loved ones carry your photo in a frame. While laid on pretty crowns of white flowers, burning sticks of incense draw all in prayers.

Hi, so glad and excited to see you my dearest poet friend and sis PD. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Praying for you and his soul, dear. May you and your loved ones be comforted as days go by. Ok, I'll try to find my old directory coz my old cellular phone has expired and discarded. Thank you so much for coming. Hope to talk to you again soon. Hugs
