For GoGo Joana

You left home to see this earth
Decided to take this journey since birth.
Through the years you've lived, you have cried,
You have loved, you have hurt but you still survived

Your jokes and laughs we will never forget
Your stories and memories, we will always protect.
Our mother, sister, granny our aunt.
You have lived this life very long.

The angels are singing and dancing
"Our sister home, our sister is home"
What more can we ask for?
Then the daughter to be with her father,our Lord.

A blessing it was to have you in our lives,
A blessing it was to see you smile.
When the night comes and you sit up there with the stars,
My heart will acknowledge that you are not that far.

Wear your white robe, see yourself shine and glow
Let the heavens know you're ready to go home.
Though I may not be able to say goodbye,
I know I'll see you again sometime.

Now rest yourself in that place of warmth,
And relax my darling you've made it home*

-Zamoe*

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometime will
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debt are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life Is queer with it twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learn
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won, had he stuck it out
Don't give up though, the pace may seem slow
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seem to faint and faltering man,
Often the struggled has given up,
When he might have captured the victors cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down
How close he was to the golden crown

Success is failure turned inside out_
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit_
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
