Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.
It wasn't long ago,
When Nonoy and you
bade goodbye to your loved ones.
It was painful beyond grief
to see you go.
Tears came running down;
Falling on our countenance.
Sobbing and wailing
consumed our hearts;
We were inconsolable.
We gathered around you
at each different time;
Gapped by nineteen days
We were forlorned and distressed.
Our prayers were stifled
by choking emotions.
Our supplications were heard
When time was getting near.
The hymns you'd chosen
With heaviness, we sang.
Every song that you remembered,
Daily you'd ask for us to sing.
Even in your deathbed
You still found the strength
In guiding us the verses
Of God's promises to which
you longed to stand.
God's ways are incomprehensible
To human's earthly understanding.
They're wrapped in mysteries
No man will never comprehend.
But only to whom He revealed
Will find a way that they would be discerned.
His loving kindness prevails
And His mercy never fails.
Sweet is the hour of prayer
That lulled you into everlasting rest
When slowly as your breath faded
The Angel came to take you away!
Today is the fifth month since you left.
The pain we feel, remains unbearable.
It's a thorn that pricks our soul
A thorn that breaks our hearts apart.
Farewell to you our Dear Neneng
Forever far, forever near
Time will tell
Till we meet
Again.

Comforting Words
"Farewell is but a temporary phrase
Goodbyes a temporay space
Sooner or later but not too soon
Love will bind both in forever..."

"Prayers I know will somewhat ease
For you to let go your heart's heaviness
The Lord will surely light up your darkest days
And you will savor His mercy and amazing grace."
