Esther Ngozi Ogbonna

It was indeed an odyssey of excruciating
pain, reluctantly embarked upon
that led to an abrupt farewell
that got you ferried in splendour
by His majesty's service 'HMS Life Eternal'
by your guardian angels maneuvered
on her maiden voyage.
Congratulations for your newfound bliss and
world of non-existent tears.
You have meritoriously earned the Saviour's
warm embrace,
as we look forward to sharing this idyllic world
with you.
Happy eternal vacation to you mom.

Joseph, I am so sorry for your loss. I know this pain as I have also lost my mother. Your pain drips from each word, phrase and line, sadly and beautifully penned ~ peace and tranquility _Constance
