I will gather roses at noon
And sugar-sweet chrysanthemums
So I can place them on your tomb

Why is the light
So bright, mummy
And those faces
I don't recognise
They follow me
Mummy can I hide
Under your skirts
Where it is warm

Where they will lie and comfort you
While you sleep your endless dream
Of butterflies and honey dew

Mummy, let me cry
for a while
Wait until the storm
Of fiery eyes
Has swept over us
Mummy, will we
still be alive
When the wind
has died tonight

And if you ever should wake up
You will know for sure
That in my field of buttercups

I will wait for you forever more

There you go giving me chills again. What a beautiful and touching work..
