A
spirit so radiant, a love pure and divine,
Ottilie
Ndakundana, your name whispers grace.
In
the heart of my world, you're the brightest star to shine,
You are the golden thread, weaving us together through time and space.
A
phenomenal woman, weathering life's fierce storm,
A
matriarch strong, through sorrow you've soared.
Eight
children you bore, four angels now gone,
Yet your strength lingers, unbroken, unflawed.
Your
laughter, a melody, pure and bright,
Even
with gaps, your smile ignites the night.
Despite
time's cruel test, your joy still sparkles,
Your
faith is a fortress, unshaken and true,
In
every soft whisper, I hear God in you.
You
savour your jungle oats, a tender delight,
In
those moments with you, the world feels just right.
A
bridge to my mother, in your embrace I bask,
With
you, dear grandmother, no questions I need ask.
Ongobe yange, Okaadona Kange.
Now in your eighties, a treasure, a blessing so grand.
Each
wrinkle a story, each grey hair a blessing.
Yet
as seasons turn, my heart quietly aches,
Cherishing each moment, for memories' sake.
For
I know the Lord will one day call you home,
To
a symphony of stars where eternal peace resides.
This
truth, though bittersweet, makes each moment special.
Ongobe
yange, Okaadona Kange, Embale lange.
In
every heartbeat, I know you’ll always be mine.
So, here's
to you, my darling, my guiding star bright,
In
a world full of chaos, you're my calm and my light.
With
every heartbeat, my gratitude flows,
For
you are my everything, my love for you grows.
Ongobe yange, Okaadona kange, Mukwanangobe wange.
