WHEN YOU WENT AWAY


















When you went away





our world tumbled down






All the laughter ......






turned into a sad frown











A part of us





just got ripped apart






leaving a gaping hole






when you depart











You were there






when we wanted you






....and we were there






when you needed us ........











....you were our only child






our pride and joy







we loved & cared for you






more than any girl or boy











Wen-ning .... please forgive us






for scolding and beating you






for disciplining you






and for disappointing you










We truly wanted you





to grow up into a better human






to mature .... from a girl






to a lady .... and a woman











Whatever we did






was for your own good






We gave you the best






toys, books, clothes and food











Most of all





we gave you care and love






and now you took it along






to heaven high above













Now that you are not here






things wouldn't be the same







you won't be beside us





no matter how loud we call your name











Our days are now empty




devoid of any meaning





We wake up in the morning





but there's no more Wen-ning












Our nights are now darker




our thoughts are now weaker





we tried to put the pieces together





but they just don't gel and gather











Wen-ning ....words cannot describe




the flow of our tears




and the pain that





we'll endure throughout the years











For 11 wonderful years




we had bitter-sweet memories




those fleeting moments we will cherish





even though a life has perished












So many things we wanted to do




So many things we wanted to show you





So many things we wanted to teach you





.... but we can't .....not anymore .....












We regret for not listening to you





We are sorry for not paying attention to you





..... but it's too late now ....





how can we ever start anew ?










You left us for a new home






A place with urns and tombs






where angels lurk ...and doves fly





a place that don't need to say goodbye












a sanctuary where time is endless





a park that's always in eternity





its heaven above ..... in perpetuity ........
