Final Goodbye

zhangyuyouyu

With heaviness in the heart

it aches

I may not know who you are

but I send you off

on a boat in the vast ocean

floats back home

 

And the ashes go with the wind

become one with the soil

nurturing your next generation

 

You can't be found

won't be trapped in the box

But let the sincere prayers of the people 

guide your free soul to where you belong

 

Goodbye to the strangers

Condolences to the families

    so well expressed, my personal interpretation of it reminds me of the prayers I do for victims of crime in my community...happy Sunday

      thank you yes I think it has to do with dealing with the lost of people no matter if it is by crime or incidents. I wish you well.
