A Tribute To Mama Lumbaya -by Jean Eming Daytec, Jan.

09, 2013 A perfect mom, that wasnt her But many essential things she had to offer Hardwork, perseverance and strength of character Determined not to give up even when life seems over No read, no write thats what she was But she made sure that wasnt us With pen and paper she armed us with To till our minds so life is easier lived Cant thank you enough, Mama, for what we have become Life lessons you taught us will never be gone Youve equipped us enough to face lifes adversities Your children, grand- and great grandchildren are living testimonies Now, we bid you goodbye with sadness and joy Suffer no more in heavens employ Tears dim my eyes as I look to your picture But a smile crosses my lips as I say, Well done, our dear mother.
