I just want to cry But I am numb I saw a child die before my eyes I see her wither in her last breaths Ouma This is not the way you should die With that machine attached to your throat Arms tied down Being suctioned And being forced to take your last breath No Ouma You are a proud woman A woman who always tries to look her best A scent of Mint and roses And sweet cakes My Ouma Clothes that smell like washing powder But that unique kind that you always remember Ouma I love you I never knew how much I did Until now I never imagined life without you And I do not wish to My Ouma Please don't go He loves you so much He never left your side You are his 'girl' he says As you lie there in the hospital bed He can not live without you Ouma You have no idea how much you mean to us My Ouma Ek is so baie lief vir jou My Ouma Asseblief Moenie gaan nie My Ouma Van Mint And Rose scent.
Ouma is the Afrikaans word for Grandmother...
I love you so much, Ouma. Ek is so baie lief vir jou, Ouma.
