Mama
Mama at Peace in Her Sleep
Mama looks so radiant, beautiful in her sleep
As if a thousand maids prepared her for a fest
Her once able body, now feeble, calm, and still
In the growing darkness, my mama's glowing grace
Defies a lifeless shadow denies a gutless spirit
In all these feelings of loss and emptiness
At least it's a consolation that mama is at peace in her sleep
