In Memoriam

Sleep in peace dear mother sleep in peace

Angels in heaven will guard your sleep

Life with you was simply beautiful

Your sunshine smile made us grateful

For all the love, the care you took

To raise us upright cheers to you

We look up the ‘stairs’ you lighted with hope

The trust you ensured us with

Will never grow old

Sleep in peace dear mother

Sleep in peace

Angels in heaven will guard your sleep.

    There’s nothing great like mother’s love and caring for her offsprings;
    No parallels to motherly affection with no expectations whatever in return;
    And she will surely enjoy a peaceful sleep in her heavenly abode;
    She deserves it rightly too!

  2. thank you OKRSji for your heartfelt comments
    yes, nothing on earth can ever equate a mother’s unselfish devotion &love for her children
