As the air was heavy
And the wind blew cold
A message dropped in
“Cek just left us”…..
A rain of sadness suddenly poured
For my auntie that has just passed away
At far above….
Akinabalu stood mighty
Separating us apart
It ripped my hearts
Not to send you off
But I will see you in my prayers
Just like Mak and Ayah
So we meet again in Jannah
No word can describe your kind heart
The precious moments when we meet
Would forever be in my mind
Advice and guidance given
Would be carve-stoned in my heart
Your smiles will be remembered ….forever
You were always there
Working on the sewing machine
The sounds told me you worked hard
The crispy cut always made me awe
…. How’s that possible?
The designs as I sneaked into your book
Was way out of my mind
You were always yourself
Spoke your minds to whoever and wherever
I listened but rarely comprehend
Loved the tone of your voice
Loved the spike of your exclamation
Loved the expression on your face
With the smiles that never end
I will miss all that
Made me feeling empty
As if a big part of my heart
Is gone……but
You will be part of my dreams ….. always
Goodbye
And have a good rest……Mokcik
