The clouds covered the clear sky,
The speedy wind started to blow,
I had a feeling, a strong feeling,
That I must send a text to you.
I was shocked, at the same time sad,
When you broke the news to me,
That the closest person in your life,
Have left you for a better place.
I know it's tough for you to let go,
For she's the one who cooked and fed you,
For she's the one who taught and guided you,
For she's the one for who you are today.
She's just going to a better place,
A place where there's no pain,
A place where there's Angels,
A place where He's there.
Though she has left you physically,
She's still watching you invisibly,
As you're forever her daughter,
The fact that can never be changed.
Fill your eyes with tears if you want to,
That's the best medicine you can ask for,
But do always remember,
Be strong, my friend...

a v poignant poem from your heart indeed!
Hi Sho,
Thanks for dropping by here. :)
Yes, indeed, this poem is from the bottom of my heart...
KOK, thank you so very much for your kind thoughts. I can't help but cried when reading this beautiful poem and I have printed it for safe-keeping.
You are indeed one of the dear friends whom I've met in blogosphere who have touched me in one way or another.
Letting mum go was a very difficult thing to do. Day after day my eyes are filled with tears. I don't think I'll be able to forget this episode in my life. You see, eventhough it's been 14 years since my dad passed away but memories of our times together still flashes very clearly in my mind and to-date I still get emotional when festive seasons like Christmas and Chinese New Year arrive. With mum's passing it's going to be even more difficult as I'm with her all the time during her visits to the hospital and not forgetting I recently took time off from work to care for her.
I have to be strong coz that's what my mum had many a times been telling me to be. You know Kok, my mum is so strong willed. I have broken down so many times in front of the doctors but not mum. She is such a strong person even the doctors had to ask her to teach me how to be like her.
Mum and I went through difficult paths together in her journey to battle this illness of her. Maybe I will someday blog about mum's passing.
Don't worry about me, I WILL be strong for mum's sake and also for my daughter, Lena. With caring friends like you, Judy, Alice, WMW and Vern's mum, just to name a few, I WILL definitely get through this. You all have been very kind and thoughful and I thank you all so very very much.
A very touching poem for a friend who truly needs to know that there are people out there like you who cares.
For this friend, I give her all the hugs I could possibly give if I was next to her.
Thank God for friends like you.
Aunty Judy
