See You Again Mummy
It dawned on me that you had gone, long before I could fathom your character
That thawed my heart away, into a tune that cannot be stopped
A tune of generosity and happiness, Oh mother you lived a life well charmed
Gave alms and the little you had, A smile ever donned on your face
Unfortunately, you left in a dash, not to be seen again.
We have your memories, closely linked in our hearts
Like the woven linen from the willows, we cluster them dearly
But sorrow sips our nerves, to our cradles we fall
For your presence savored our fear, that was too palpable
Even in death, your precepts shall abide with us
So that our sojourn can be a harbor for all
I feel like making a sonata, for us to be connected in a glance
Here you have left us in limbo, with moments of despair
Oh death you are so cruel
Heaven is your new home, we will meet someday
Hope you are watching over us and I will not fear again
For your life’s reflection strengthens me, till the crow of the night fades
I shall feel you close in my heart
For Jesus wipes away our tears as your family
