In Loving Memory
Sheila, realizing my innermost fears, choking back the steady stream of tears. Not knowing your time had come, without you I feel so numb. Just a whisper in the breeze, brought my world down to its knees. The day that you were called away, paradise is where you now stay. When the days do come to pass, call upon your bed of grass. Comfort inside knowing you’re there, looking up at my vacant stare. Mum, we began as toddlers so helpless yet never a challenge for you, No matter how little or large the task, there’s nothing you couldn’t do. You gave us so much precious love, which came from deep inside, Knowing the amazing Mum that you were, fills us with tremendous pride.
Mum, our time with you was far too short, there’s much we’d like to say, The days ahead they are unknown, without you leading the way. Although you’ll look down upon us Mum, and incredibly sad we’ll fuss, We take great pride in the fact that, your blood flows proudly through us.
Mum, we share your strengths instilled in us, knowing what we must do, To continue the legacy you’ve already begun, while lovingly remembering you. Said gently into the night Our Love; your new beginning has come, Although at this moment we say farewell, forever You Are Our Mum… Today marks the 4th anniversary since Awino Likabo went to he with the Lord.
