A WONDER CALLED BELLARMINA
Bella, you departed too fast Wished a little longer to last A shadow of gloom, you cast To family and friends, a shock and blast. A friend and neighbor to admire, Your company was real desire The saree, your best attire In God`s arms you retire A caring mother and dear You wiped their every tear. In God alone, you taught to fear A wonderful person so near. In social work you were drowned, In humility, simplicity you were crowned. Respected and helped one and all Your attitude and concerns made you tall You showered love and care You enjoyed your time to share Endowed by grace with plenty to spare A magnanimous person so rare In life and work you remained cool Generosity was your best tool Religiously your were too busy Your life was hard, yet made it look easy In all the roles you were the best Admired and desired,as the guest God has given your tired hands the rest Never put you to any hard test Never saw you in angry mood Cool and calm you stood Your permanent nature is good Charity, helpfulness , devoutness your food Family, friends, neighbours are in gloom Losing the beautiful, fragrant bloom Your memory will always fill our mind A jewel , so rare and precious to find Never imagined you`ll leave so soon To many, you were the light and shining moon To your husband, children you were the boon Your departure was darkness at noon painful memories Nelson Lopes
