For granny, with love

Love is when u lose someone
And actually feel that a part of you is gone
Life is when you spend your time on earth
With all your loved ones by your side
A fulfilling life is when you spend your life
With little or no regrets at all

Mrs. Alice Okello was a wife, a mother, a sister, an aunt
A grandma (my grandma) and a great grandmother to many.
Today we come together; we are drawn together because of her
But today is a day that we weep not cos of her passing
But instead celebrate a life well lived

So we mustn’t tie ourselves with tears
But instead be happy that we had these precious years
Grieve for a while we have
Tears have stung our eyes
But all this has been comforted by trust
That it is only for a while that we must part

And since life must go on
We are saddened by the fact that
You no longer will be a part of it
So to God we pray, we beseech Him
That your spirit continues to live on
Among us, within us
That what u stood for in life
May be carried on by us

For when our time too will reach
And we must start our journey to come your way
We just hope that you’ll be there
To receive us with a smile
And say, ‘welcome home’

God bless you grandma.
