Forever Good Bye, Mother!
Mother! Mother!
I
knew for long that it would come a day
When
you would go far, forever far away.
Though
I have prepared and been aware,
It still hurt me deeply each
step of the way.
My heart is aching, my eyes are blurring;
I
see the rain on a searing summer day.
And
a giant hollow hole in our world
We miss you dearly on each
passing day.
Thanks for everything you did each day,
For
all of us and for your grandchildren.
Though
you have left this temporary world,
In our hearts, forever
you will stay.
With
deepest love and sincere devotion to you,
I
write this on the day mother flew away.
May
God bless you to rest in peace; we pray,
In Buddha’s world, nirvana may you stay.
Mother!
Mother! Forever, farewell.
