As We Look Back

A poem specially dedicated to 'Popo' (Grandma), ‘Beloved Mom’ or ‘Mama Chong” (as she is fondly known among her church members…… )

As We Look Back

As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering….
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work and good judgement.
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you had made
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things and times we shared?
If we have forgotten or were too busy to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did
We’re thanking you now….

Mom or Popo, it broke our hearts to see you go,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
In that moment the Lord called you home.

We never did understand
The pain, the hurt, the grief
Why?...we used to say
God knew how much we love you,
But still he took you away.
We will miss you as much as today
But now we understand
God makes us – and it’s up to him
When He will take our hand.
