My mother is free at last from years of pain.
My only wish is that she had not suffered as she did,
Rivers of tears were streaming down her face,
Teeth clenched with sorrow and pain.

At least I know, Mum, you didn't leave this world alone
As I was by your side and watched you go to sleep.
Rest now, build your strength and awaken in the new system

You are free at last to see the paradise, you so dreamed of,
Free at last to awaken in a land called Paradise on Earth.

Her memories will not be lost.
Mum will never be forgotten
Today, tomorrow her time will come.
