God saw you were getting tired
and a cure was not meant to be.
So he put his arms around you
and whispered, “Come with me.”

 With tearful eyes we watched you
as we saw you pass away.
Although we loved you deeply,
we could not make you stay.

 Your Golden Heart stopped beating,
hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

Mama passed away 20th of September 2008, Makati City.. And we brought her back home., in Davao where she now lies peaceful beside Lolo Willy’s grave..
