MY SISTER FUNERAL ORATION

My sister just past away on March 07, 2007. I love and miss her very much. I wrote this poem to send to my brother-in-law and her family to express my sympathy to them. This poem was written in Vietnamese language. Now I translate to English with the meaning only.
Oh my sister! Oh my sister! Oh my sister!
Three years ago you and I were happy together
Three years later you had gone to Nevada
In my mind, I think you are still alive
But truly I will never see you again.
Oh my sister! Oh my sister! Oh my sister!
You are a daughter of piety!
As a good mother, you took good care of your children.
You always work hard to provide for your children
Your children had grown; you got rid of every thing to become a nun
Oh my sister! Oh my sister! Oh my sister!
You are successful in prayer
The Buddha and angel farewell and welcome you,
Because you are sincerely and deeply praying daily.
In the Earth thousand people respecting, love and mourn you.
