ashes to ashes...

Thursday, June 16, 2005

i stepped home
called out her name
a routine
i so gladly adhered to
there was no reply
i answered with some embarrassing laughter

the usual seat at the same place
the wave of a hand when you say goodbye everyday
the trembling touch that frails away as you hold her

a century
a long time to live
a rough ride in life
but she pull it through

now the presence is gone
what is left
are an urn... with ashes
two candles, some joss sticks
and a piece of paper with her name inscribed on it

but the memory remains
of a woman who held the family together
with her strength and a gentle heart
and her love for all her off springs

~in memory of my granny, who passed away peacefully in our home on 11th June 2005, 7:17am and ended her long fight with illnesses.
