(In loving Memory of my Mother, Late Mrs. Patricia NZOLO NWANZE
I will light a dozen candles for this paragon of beauty
I'll say a little prayer for you for your peaceful repose
I will make a thousand wishes to the cosmos
I'll shed a million tears on your passing
I will sing songs of praise for this icon
I'll release a dozen pigeons into firmament
I will shoot a thousand canons in your loving memory
I'll lay a hundred flowers by your graveside
I will give you your plaudits everywhere I go
I'll tell beautiful tales of you
I will write a million poems about you
I'll pen a eulogy for you every season
I'll say countless thank yous for your love
I will blow a million kisses to the stars
I'll forever miss your Flawless Soul
