Me te aroha nui atu o mātau katoa

A Poem my Mother wrote for her mother:

I thought of you with love today
but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
and days before that too,
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
All I have are memories
and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake
with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping
I have you always in my heart
God took you in his loving arms
He saw you needed rest
His garden must be beautiful
For He only takes the best .
Me te aroha nui atu o mātau katoa
