Happy Birthday Juju

(5th March)

We have no words to thank you

For all the care you take

Of all of us the whole Jing bang

Who love to tease you all day?

Today it is your birthday

The saddest one we know

For all of us will miss our mom

Who left us all and departed

To a place of no return

We know your heart cries for the blow

But

Life and death go hand in hand

We know not when the thread is cut

And

Life surrenders to His will

But

We know your tender devotion

Will forever glow?

She looks down from her heavenly abode

And

Blesses you today

For all the care and love you showered

When all of us were away

 Night and day you wept and stayed

Staunchly by her side

Her slightest murmur

Stirred you up and you were by her side

Today we all pray together

All brothers and sisters we

God give you the courage

To look forward

Mom is watching from up you see

Be not dismayed our sister dear

God too is by your side

Angels flutter and comfort you

So you must not cry

Her sufferings were immense you are aware

No one could relieve her pain

Her breathing heavy she gasped for breath

The oxygen mask also failed

You gently stroked her cheeks and spoke

She heard your voice you know

Surely, God did not wish or plan

For her to wither, or vegetate

And … more helplessly fade away

So dear sister be strong and brave

The pain is great we know

Though Mom’s in heaven we are sure

She is always by your side

    although we have lost our parents, an affectionate brother and a young sister we always count ourselves lucky to have always been so very close and dear to each one of them.
    we are together and shall always be together that is what our parents have taught us and we are blessed to have had them in our life
    thank you for your wonderful thoughtful,invigorating and warm affection we all share
    once again…. Touchwood
