Far away
Where flowers lay
Where the sun shines
And water streams
Go silent at night
The stars gaze down
While you lie on the clouds
Staring at a sky
That never ends
The birds soar by
You are not afraid
The lights that shine
Will never go away
From a world full of suffering
A life filled with sorrow
Suddenly,
You are gone away tomorrow
Sadness fills our hearts
Grieving a life taken too soon
But as the sun rises at dawn
You’ll be gone away with the moon
Your days were filled with sorrow
The suffering would never end
After a long journey,
Heaven is where you rest
Now the sun is always shining
The sky looks bright and blue
You are now at peace
The angels sing to you.
For my uncle, David Chan.
