Tis over and so I cry,
For another flame doth die,
A time to reflect,
On love sadly passed,
More sad for knowing,
T'will not be our last.

My Granny

I cherished those time when she was living with me
taking care of me when I was still young, and vulnerable.
She was a quiet person, caring in a positive way
but she was often taken as granted.

My parent was working then,
and she was the one who catered to all my willful needs.
I remembered she was the one who will pick me up from school everyday
Old and feeble, but standing strong.

Folding origami for me was a great thrill
as simple paper frogs can make me jump for joy
Whenever it rained, I will always pester her
to fold me a boat that will carry all my sorrow down the drain

I was playful when I was young, hyperactive and menacing.
Whenever I was bored, she will bring me to the playground
Or brought me to the marketplace where she will give me 20 cents
playing on the ride till the gay evening.

Remembered a time I accidentally threw a toy camera at her
broke her finger when I playfully closed the door at her
I was ignorant then, but I know what is remorseful
Trying to apologize, but she forgave me before I even said a word.

A bad fall, and down with the fatal stroke
I knew she will be leaving us slowly
Her pain and agony was shown on her face
But helpless we were.

On that fateful day when god brought her away
There was grief, but showing sadness was never a forte
My dad said everyone gotta leave this world one day
Like how I came into this world

We played poker during her wake
Trying to hide our anguish over the death of a loved one
Listening to perfect10
Suddenly this song was played..
