In Memory of Maitu
Though no one knows, I am here to tell.
Of the loss of the loved one, I never knew.
Trying to keep the secret, of the wonderful life to come.
As people brought it up, I held my tongue.
Then one day, a very ordinary day,
I get word of the passing of this special someone.
Now I will never know them and they me,
Until the day that I too shall go.
He will always be my sole quintessence,
And in my family's intertwined hearts.
O I will dream, dream all the days long
Of what could have been; the laughter and smiles,
The joys of being together and watching, the struggles and accomplishments,
The pains and sufferings along with the memories and experiences
Made and cherished forever, but the bad news still haunts me
Always in the back of my mind. As I see new life;
Sunrises that bring light, flowers when winter turns spring,
When the cute baby smiles and laughs, my heart breaks for what
Has escaped my grasp. I know it is what was supposed to happen,
So I can grow stronger. Although he is not here,
He is the meaning and inspiration in my life.
He will live on in the memory of those who knew of him.
