Despair takes over
        when death comes
    to a soft wind whisper
  embrace with the
 final thought of
devastating heart
fill with farewell cord
 Echoes of grief reflect
 with shattered dream
  from strength diminish
    a mother’s agony
      of her child lost
         shed in tears
          in the deep ocean wave
             to ask for help
           of comfort in need
            a wish of a gentle care
            from the beacon light
           guiding to the broken spirit
          leading to the glee of eternity
         bring the console to peace
