Mama

In my youth I have known none but you, 
molded I was of your words, 
in your hind I was shielded, 
but now Mama you are gone, 
to whom shall I know in similitude?

With this hand I passed unto you,
the dust, 
this it is, the dust 
dust to dust, 
but the dust I passed, 
will be passed unto me too.
