Goodbye.


You left without saying goodbye.
I wish I could find a way try not to cry.
Watching you being incinerate breaks my heart.
The road to send you off seem so long.
I wish you knew salvation.
It's so hard to accept the fact that you're gone forever.
Life goes on.
May you rest in peace.
I'll miss you.

Love,
Your granddaughter.

In loving memory of Lee Kim Peow.

With hope

The frail look on your face now leave my eyes in tears
It pains me to see how weak you've grown
It aches me even more to know you couldn't recognize me anymore
With those faded vision and impair hearing of yours makes it even harder for you
They say your kidney, heart and lung fails you
Standing there, holding your hand, wishing I could do something
Wishing I could ease your pain

You've always look scrawny but never this weak
You're a man with few words, making you unapproachable
But you were one of the first few man in my life
I could still remember. I could still recall how you love me
With your solid old blue Nissan, you used to bring me out with you every morning
Ordering my cold barley and kaya toast at your favourite kopitiam
Sacrificing your hard earned money just to give me a wonderful breakfast
Holding my little hands, driving me around town just to see me smile

You called me your favourite granddaughter
Others grew jealous of how close we were
You lightens up whenever you see me
You have a cute smile especially when you do not have those front teeth of yours
I'm glad I brought joy to your life just as how you've brought into mine

Mistakes and regrets, you said you have them all
Alas, we're only human and human are bound to make mistakes
That's the epitome of humans
Some were angry with what you've done
Some thinks you deserve this
Some find it hard to forgive you
But I've forgiven you

As stubborn as you're, I'm glad you live to see me graduate
83 years you've been blessed tremendously with the most loving wife
A wife who has always been by your side till the end
I wish to have a love like yours
Doctors said they can't do much
I pray that you'll find truth in life

Though I never say this often but I just want you to know that I love you, ah gong.
