Mama...
it’
s
been
one
year
today.
Seems
like
it
was
only
yesterday,
Mama.
We
miss
you
so
much.
October 12
th,
the
calendar
is
cold
again
The
exact
time
you
left,
where
do
I
begin?
Fifty-two
years,
you
decided
to
walk
away
Left
us
in
the
shadows
of
a
quiet
day
No
goodbye,
no
warning,
just
a
silent
room
Now
we’
re
counting
memories
in
the
heavy
gloom
Rest
well,
Mama
Salamotu,
in
the
arms
of
the
Lord
We
believe
you’
re
dancing
on
a
heavenly
chord
Though
the
house
is
empty,
your
spirit
remains
Soothing
our
sorrow
and
easing
our
pains
Rest
well,
Mama,
rest
in
peace
Your
love
is
a
song
that
will
never
cease
Okpa
is
crying,
he
misses
your
gentle
touch
Sofiat
is
waiting,
she’
s
missing
you
too
much
Nadi
is
still
looking
at
the
door
every
night
Waiting
for
a
miracle,
hoping
for
your
light
But
the
house
is
cold,
the
echoes
are
deep
Mama,
we’
re
struggling
while
you’
re
in
your
sleep
Rest
well,
Mama
Salamotu,
in
the
arms
of
the
Lord
We
believe
you’
re
dancing
on
a
heavenly
chord
Though
the
house
is
empty,
your
spirit
remains
Soothing
our
sorrow
and
easing
our
pains
Rest
well,
Mama,
rest
in
peace
Your
love
is
a
song
that
will
never
cease
Time
doesn’
t
heal,
it
just
makes
us
remember
The
warmth
of
your
heart
in
the
cold
of
December
We
hold
onto
prayers,
we
hold
onto
grace
Until
the
day
we
see
your
beautiful
face
Omo,
the
weight
of
this
silence
is
heavy
on
me
But
I
know
you
are
happy,
I
know
you
are
free
Beside
your
Maker,
in
a
place
so
bright
Shine
down
on
us,
Mama,
keep
us
in
sight
Rest
well,
Mama
Salamotu,
in
the
arms
of
the
Lord
We
believe
you’
re
dancing
on
a
heavenly
chord
Though
the
house
is
empty,
your
spirit
remains
Soothing
our
sorrow
and
easing
our
pains
Rest
well,
Mama,
rest
in
peace
Your
love
is
a
song
that
will
never
cease
Rest
on,
Mama...
We
miss
you
so
much.
Keep
resting
beside
your
Maker.
We
love
you
forever,
Mama
Salamotu. (
