Morose Tears For the Passing of Mommy Germaine Dupiche

It has been raining everyday The wet autumnal wind is here And Mommy Maine just left us today Peacefully. She just expired, dear This Ebony Queen was a century plus six years young Mommy Maine never got old. Beautiful and classy like a song I was with her, in Houston, when her first beloved son Our friend Yvon, had passed less than four months ago Oh! Death, why, one day, must we all go? What have we done to you? It’s always sad to lose Someone special. At one point, nobody can choose Between life and death. Mommy Maine just left us She was our Black Star, our Smiling Diva. We’re at a loss I have tears in my eyes, because she wouldn’t want me to cry She was so magnanimous that she would not want us to cry Mommy Maine just left. She just took her last breath She left us. The celestial craft came early, at dawn, this morning And left the body for us to ensepulcher, to bury. We are mourning The passing of our wonderful North Star. Mommy Maine left But she will without a doubt remain with us in spirit She was an unspeakable inspiration, a quintessential majorette A motivational speaker who always finds a way to encourage To teach, to calm, to reason, to serve and to love. Her age Did not matter. She was full of wisdom, wit, style, genre and protocol No more smiles from her, no more advice and no more call It’s raining profusely in the Northeast Mrs. Germaine Dupiche, a hard worker, is now at rest, at peace May God continue to bless such a beautiful mother The dearest mother, aunt, friend of so many like Mother Nature! P.S. My late father, Gustave Logerie would have said: Que la Terre vous soit légère! Sit tibi terra levis ! May the Earth be light on you!
