Parted forever...

When I was called to bid the last goodbye,

I stood still and stared at her for the longest time,

though I thought I've braced myself for this,

I can't bring myself to say the word goodbye.

I know I should be happy for her,

As she has waited long for her time to fly,

To her new home up in heaven,
Where she is free of pain,
But i felt an immense pain,
Pain that I can't describe.

I was the cry baby among her four children,

she always say.

But on the day when I sent her off,

I cried the least,

For I know how much she hates to see people cry.

Though weeks has passed,
It still feels like yesterday to me,

Tears still burn my eyes,

Every time my mind wander off to her.
