The most painful moments of my life

Seeing you lying on the hospital bed

Watching your life wasted away

Thorns piercing into my heart

Helplessly as I stand by you

Calling you tenderly

not a single response I hear

You slept throughout

till your last

-

'' Prepare for the worst''

I was told gently by Dr John Chia

hoping for the best i still will

Holding your hands tightly

tightly as I can

Never will I let you go

Tearing as I whispered a small prayer

Pleading and begging God

for miracles to appear

-

In a night of 17 June 2004

A day forever will i remember

as long as I am God's creature on earth

A call I fear to receive from Assisi Hospice

Has finally arrived

Rushing down to see you

Only to hear you are gone

Peacefully you went, I was told

-

Hoping its a prake made by Nurses

My heart sank when Dr certified

Watching you as you laid on table

Fast asleep I wish you were

Tears stream down my cheeks

With regrets of not being by you

when you breath your last

A guilty me will I be,

for as long as I live

Not a chance to say 'I love you, mum'

Not a chance to say 'Goodbye mum'

Not a chance to say 'I will be strong'

Not a chance to say 'Its ok, mum. Let Go'.

-

Fulfilling your wish to bring you home

Never I expect in a horizontal way

Seeing you lying in "brownish long box"

You dressed in your best set of clothes

Holding your Bible in your hands

Peacefully and beautifully

you laid to rest

-

Standing was a photo of your smiling face

We sang your favourite hymn -Amazing Grace

We know this is your wish

Friends came to bid their last farewell

Many Many people came to send you off

to someone so great and marvellous
