Requiem

(Dedication: Verses for my mother, Eng Neo and my father, Simon)


Thank you for joys, for simple things; 
For sure employ, for all time brings.

Go on your way with rest profound; 
Where rainbow rays and love now grounds.

Your journey here has ended thus; 
This earthly sphere you leave in trust.

We mourn our loss with fondness now; 
As thoughts we toss bring love’s endow.

Goodbye for now 
As time allows.

Epitaph:

“Thank You Dear God for Love and Light; 
Thank You Dear Lord for Truth and Sight. 
Our earthly days have come and gone; 
Forgive we pray our errors borne.”
