Words She Never Heard

No longer do you worry,

no longer will you wonder,

the sun will shine always for you.

Hard-working all your life,

never making excuses,

owning up to both bad and good;

these were examples I learned.

Your life has been my blessing,

through you I became stronger,

a heritage you received from your parents,

I now hold within my breast.

Now dear mother,

your day of days has finally ended.

You can finally, rest in peace.
