A Mother's Silent Sunset
A song made by Dorothy Nankabirwa
The silence falls, the shadow grows.
A flower fades before it blows.
The winter came before the autumn passed,
A gentle light too beautiful to last.
The silent hands of fate began to weave,
A sudden dark, and left us here to grieve.
Your breath, a whisper in the cold night air,
Now lost within the quiet of despair.
Oh mother, sleep beneath the starlight sky,
Where angels sing and gentle rivers sigh.
Your journey ends before the day is done,
Our love remains, as constant as the sun.
Rest in peace, your memory will shine.
The natural tide that pulls us to the deep,
Has hushed your weary, aching soul to sleep.
No pain can reach you in your quiet bower,
Though we are broken in this heavy hour.
We hold the grace of every path you trod.
Oh mother, sleep beneath the starlight sky,
Where angels sing and gentle rivers sigh.
Your journey ends before the day is done,
Our love remains, as constant as the sun.
Rest in peace, your memory will shine.
Sleep now, beloved soul.
Until we meet again.
