In memory of Jasmine Aseervatham
18th Jan 1944 - 13th Feb 2006
Beloved wife of Aloysius and proud mother of Raj, Ratna and Yogi
“As you watch over us, see nether the sadness nor the void in our hearts See instead the joy you have brought into our lives”
Words and music by Raj Aseervatham (2017)
STAY
Memories etched in the best part of me
Rhymes that taught me ABC
Sights and sounds echo
As I think of long ago
A feeling I'll keep close for all my years
The way you soothed our fears
Words and touch rewind
In the depths of my mind
You kept us safe in every strange land
Your strength I did not understand
Mama your faith kept you strong
In places you did not belong
I forget how many ways you showed your love
Like grace from God above
And no, I don't want them to fade
The memories that we once made
Chorus
So stay
In this house built of the past
With memories of you that last
And you could be here, every day
So stay
And I think of our time together
And I often ask myself whether
We made enough memories
Finished enough stories
Built enough rooms with your smile
To live in for a while
To share with each other
And remember our mother
Chorus x 2
