The one...
Who made opened
closed paths of life
for me
The one...
encouraging
to walk ahead
bravely
Today...
Bad fortune has come
in mourning
I stand
Sadly..
In tears of prayer
at the grave...
The one
Heart cries
feelings of great loss
seeking peace
But where...
I stand...
tombstones of the dead
around me
alone.
