Turning Way

(Mamuma (Grand ma has gone away). For me she is always around ...
She stopped by in my life for my 49 years..She has moved on...)

My heart wept in silence as I got to know of your passing away,
I silently wept like a child.. I wanted you to stay.

Now Mamuma you are at peace, free from worldly pain,
I wish i could have have you back again.

Although you are so far away i feel you so near,
Will hold you in my memory till I drop my last tear.

Until the day I forever close my eyes,
In my mind’s eye i will see and feel your smile , warm and nice.

Mamuma ,
When the news came  endured so much pain
The skies came together and dropped lots of rain.
Mamuma
Thank you for the gift of love,
That now you will share from up above.

To me your eldest grandson you had always many things to say,
And always in such a simple loving and caring way.


As I have begun to turn away with a goodbye,
Tears keep rolling down my eyes.

Until my last breath in me I will always hold  you,
Mamuma I will always keep on loving you.

Although you have gone alone. so far away,
A part of me that you have taken  comes to me every morning with the sun’s ray..
comes to me every morning with the sun’s ray..
