As the sun in the east slowly breaks

The breath of life escaped mama

So long had she waited

So short a life she lived

Time stood still as mama

Found her friends at rest

The angels as imagined

Were calling out her name

A ray of light so blinding

Shined in tunnel near

As group of marching stewards

Met my mama dear

A rain of bitter sorrow

Left many a heavy heart

My mother's well- loved chapter

Ended before my eyes

An eerie sound of longing

Caught me in its claws

Through the beaming sunlight

She said her last adieu
