(for Tony Liao whose mother died)
she is rested and will be travelling to another
world beyond ours
she will be remembered as a mother
who gave birth to you
and took care of you
so that you are what you are now
my friend
we shall offer her flowers
and prayers
she is rested now, and we shall not disturb her some more
the world takes care of her flesh and bones
the heavens shall welcome her soul
