Her brown eyes sparkled in the light
And when she laughed, the sun shone a little more bright.
She blessed us with her smile,
And her hands knew no end of cheerful toil.
Though she was small in stature,
She stood as regal as a queen.
Love and laughter were graced upon her face.
Her sons and daughters graciously obeyed her every command.
She disciplined with authority,
But she carefully hid a cheeky grin
Underneath her fierce looks and threats
That remembered childhoods of times past.
She was a precious stone in her family’s eyes:
A shining sapphire, a priceless pearl, a glittering diamond.
Though she is gone now,
The light she filled us with is seen in the shimmer of the stars,
In the gleam of the moon,
And in the rise and fall of each setting sun.
She provided love, warmth, and care
And her personal prayers for each one of us
A link to the father we’ve held so dear.
They shared a life hand in hand, putting aside all fear.
When he died, she felt her heart break
But with eyes set on God, she went forward in faith.
On July 7th, 2010, he gently came to take her
He wanted her by his side when he met his maker.
So it was with love and trust
That she let go of her mortal spirit
And her soul soared high to the heavens above
To meet God’s love infinite.
Though we may feel pain
At our mother’s passing
We must always remember
That love is everlasting.
Ammachi and Appachan,
Intercede for us, your children
So that someday we may meet again
In our final home, heaven. |
