We will be strong and brave, Mother As we say our final goodbye. But don’t forget, my darling Mother, We will see you in the big blue sky Oh how we love and miss you. No one can really understand How we want to hug and kiss you, And hold your beautiful hand. We just don’t want you to go, Mother I want you to stay with me, But we know that’s not possible, Mother As you are now happy and pain free. We love you today and forever, Mom We hope that you are at ease. We will see you again, Mom. God just look after her, please. By R K Johal
