REQUIEM
In fond memory of
Mavis Frances Klass-Rezel (RIP)
(1928 t0 2024)
A new day lights
We go on our way
Weary with long flight
Your sparkle gone away
A new dawn peers
In repose you lie
Peace clusters hope here
As we whisper sad sighs
~~~~~~~~~
O mother dear
Love lights your calm face
We weep painful tears
Pray your soul rooms with grace
Blessings abide
To help us go on
Through life’s time and tide
Today, and far beyond
~~~~~~~~~
May you find peace
In the afterlife
Where love funds kind lease
Beyond our mortal strife
Yes we recall
Your kind fond embrace
Through fest, sweet and gall
That light on your sweet face
~~~~~~~~~
Farewell dear Mum
We bid you Goodbye
May love and peace hum
Your way Home as we cry
Now as we pray
May your soul find rest
With bright rainbow rays
At the end of your quest
~~~~~~~~~
