Before-word: I wrote this piece as a tribute to the life of a dear dear friend (may her soul Rest In Peace). There was so much to say about this beautiful life, sharing it here in phases, this is phase 2.

Remember Me In Familial Affection

I am the affection
The arms which held my mamma in death
Are the arms which held my daughter through life
The hands with which I ceaselessly toiled
Are the hands which extended care to kin near and far
The lips that never ceased to mouth “I love you”
Are the lips with which I’ve expressed my endless devotion
The eyes that saw the best in others
Are the eyes which closed in prayer, all’s forgiven, I hold no grudge
For as long as you keep family bonds strong
My heart beats on
I am alive in the affection

REMEMBER ME
