On the 49th Day

Remembering Father

On the 49th day of your death
We prayed that you be reborn in a better place
No more sufferings

Everything you love, I tried to get
Vegetarian prawns, chicken we serve in plates
They're just offerings

You taught us that do not wait till death
Only then show your face
Visit and look after your parents when they're living

I hope we all remember father's saying
If you want to replace
What you could not give to dad
Do it for those in our family who are still living
