Remembering Swarna Fernando

90th Birth Anniversary - 
born March 6, 1932   
“THE FRAGRANCE OF FLOWERS SPREAD
ONLY IN THE DIRECTION OF THE WIND.   
BUT THE GOODNESS OF A PERSON   
SPREADS IN ALL DIRECTIONS”   

Amma

It is almost six years since you departed,   
If you were with us today, it would have been your 90th birthday.   
The memories are still strong and I wish you were here today.   
I can’t see nor touch you so I know you’re not here   
but I’ve still got the past and in my heart you’re still near.   
Before I go to sleep at night,   
I miss my usual call asking you how was your day   
Feeling so sad and calling you Amma,   
I must say I needed someone cause of all my hurt and fear.
If I could see you one last time you know what I would do-   
Release all my emotions and say Amma,

I LOVE YOU!!!   

We offered Alms to the priest you associated the most and bless you a happy journey in samsara until you Attain the Supreme Bliss of Nirvana!   
Fondly remembered by the sons, daughters in law and granddaughters.
