Knowing what I know now
Should I have loved you more?
When heaven calls on its servant
A humble soul, immaculate and pure
Should I have known it was goodbye?
Or must I have been prepared?
For a heavenly call so silent and serene.
--------------------------
Clouds of heaven whirl at your presence
Angels whisper rest in peace
On earth friends assemble in vigil
God’s kingdom is for you
You, your brother’s keeper
Those you touched with love
Continue to weep in prayer
-----------------------------
Should I cry for you Sister Rose…Aunty Rose?
Break down in that childish laughter
That has left an echo in my heart
May I Sister Rose, Aunty Rose Should I?
You knew the answers to my questions
And answered them with motherly charm
Pure, spiritual, delightful and strong-headed
--------------------------------------
I cry now within the pages of my books
The only image of you, the one I last saw
Bright and merry, so tender and sweet
“Joe, you must grow up now,
Your little one is about to be born”
But if to die is to be reborn in heaven
In my heart you are always alive
-------------------------------
I have grown up now Sister Rose…Aunty Rose
I am grown up
I am grown
Sister Rose
Aunty Rose
Rest in peace
