[Poem] Tribute to a Relation

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes,

Memories appear like flashes;

As life merges with nature,

And continue in the Afterlife.

We had prayed and prayed,

Raged and teared and tried

To keep you close to us,

See your smiles and hear your tales.

You fought hard in the beginning,

Before your flesh stopping trying;

Your missions are completed

So you return to be reassigned.

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes,

May the seas bring you to places;

In life, you were a godsend,

In death now a legacy is created.
