Elegy for Mama Tata

For Mama Tata, our guiding star,
A tough-as-nails mom who's come so far.
She led us through with all her might,
Her love and strength, a shining light.

Through the tough times, she never swayed,
With grace and courage, she faced each day.
Even when cancer had its hold,
Her spirit remained, strong and bold.

A strict mom, but also so kind,
Her wisdom and love, forever intertwined.
Her words of wisdom, her tender care,
In our hearts, they'll always be there.

She left me with my grandparents, it's true,
I can't imagine the pain she went through.
But her sacrifice, her love so pure,
In my heart, it'll forever endure.

Though she's gone, her legacy's clear,
In the memories we hold so dear.
For Mama Tata, our rock, our friend,
In our hearts, her love will never end.

Rest easy now, Mama Tata dear,
Your spirit lives on, your love so near.
In our hearts, you'll always stay,
Until we meet again, someday.
