don't think you have the time


I went to a funeral
She lived in the new town
She passed away 2 days ago
When she suffered a heart attack

She was a vegetable seller
She was busy manning her stall
Together with her daugher and son-in-law
She died on the spot

She had health issues
She used to take her medication
Maybe she was overworked
She died while working at her stall

The Taoist priest said her last rites
Leaving her world she knew
Now she has a new world to go
The host died the soul returned

She left behind her sickly husband
Two daughters, son and sons-in law
Together with 3 grandsons
And her youngest sister and her second brother

The weather was hot and sunny
The burial conducted today
Later adjourned to a Chinese restaurant
For the late lunch to thank all who came
