My Pretty Lotus Resting In Peace
It was only seventy three years ago a pretty
princess was born in the Isle of Fiji
She was to become my pretty Lotus and give me all
the glory of my life to see
My maiden lived with no other thought than to
love and be loved by me
She was born to serve and give her tender loving
care to everyone and me
I was a teacher and she was a teacher to blend as
one as live in the village of Botini
We loved with a love that was more than love and
got married with scrutiny
Our love life was winged to fly the world and enjoy
life that was my lotus and me
The reason for all our truth, beauty and goodness
in family life was all her tranquillity
When the sun rose, the day went by and the
evening came she was always there
To gather the family together and ensure that
everything we needed was always there
Our love was much stronger and deeper than the
love of all those lovely birds
The angels in heaven above and the lovers on the
earth adored us as lovebirds
Our family life went on for ages all smooth and full
of ecstasy and glorious time
Strong winds blew, hotter sun came out and it
rained and thundered some time
My pretty lotus stood firm and strong for half a
century caring for us all
But the cruel storm came out one morning and
made my darling fall
Now the day comes and goes but the nights are
harder to spend in peace
I no longer long for the moon and the stars because
my life is on a short lease
There are dreams that bring my pretty lotus to me
to talk and give me some peace
Now I see my darling, my life and my bride
travelling to heaven to rest in peace
My life goes on as my beloved had asked me to
spend and conduct
My angel is sleeping soundly and I have many
duties and tasks to conduct
Let no more storms come and disturb me because I
do not want my dreams to end
I do not want to dissever my soul from the soul of
my pretty lotus and her end.
