Before me I see your beautiful face,
Through your eyes wistful pictures to embrace
Underneath a few wrinkles to show your age
A safe haven for years, yet now a torn-out page
Your mouth tells significant stories from back then
Every brick a different chapter out of your mighty pen
Every single room of your heart represent who you are
Without you, it leaves us with a deep wounded scar
Generation to generation, standing in the tree's shade,
Colours that once was bright, have now fade
But through many cracks and crevices, you still stayed
The home of love and faith, as we prayed
Every time I travel by, I will be thinking of al the memories of the past
You were a part of me from my first breath till my last
Although I must say goodbye, I also say thank you
To a pillar and a monument, I'll love forever
