Can this stream of tears ever dry?
It just won't stop the more I tried!
The spherics of its wetness just got bigger the more I cried!
Each of its drop is hot enough to bake me a fry.

So gentle people could fly this high,
That the best the birds could give was just a sigh,
Tho' the brightness of the sun had shone brightly by the time you died.
But mama why did you refuse to even wave us a bye?

Death has now locked your goodness in a coffin,
With bones soon left to dry out lean,
Your soul will now wear white gowns without cufflinks,
Your dance is now only to the king of kings.

You died ripe in age,
You even left as a sage,
Your wisdom so enormous are now locked in a cage,
So your birthdays will now come with no more bellies served with cakes

Adieu! As God forever liveth,
May you find a place in heaven stayeth,
May songs of victory be beautiful for your soul to forever singeth,
And may your soul forever in peace resteth.

If loving you is an offence,
I'm set to rot in the worst jail,
With your love, far my heart will sail,
Then there I will scale any fence.

Nothing will again make a sense,
Your love will be there without fail,
It is then true love will prevail,
Our true friendship will then commence.

And if you give me back true love,
Then I'll swim oceans for your sake,
My love will sing loud your sweet song,
Then o''er all things you shall be 'bove.

Other women, I will forsake,
Hope loving you won't turn out wrong!

In tranquil thoughts and wellness, may you dwell,
May joy's sweet warmth forever be your guide,
May favors smile and fortune's gifts abide,
May blessings bloom and flourish, all may tell.

May happiness make your heart to feel well,
May faith and hope, like beacons, shine your ride,
May life's uncertainties flee from your side,
May peace never bid your life a farewell.

And when life's journey ends, and your last breath,
May God's love be what will hold you very tight,
May His grace be what will guide you after death,
May heaven's joy be for your heart's delight,
May God's own guidance provide you with strength,
And in eternity finds you upright.

pears ripen slowly,
the bees thrum their joyful songs;
summer harvest's near
