My darling mum

we always knew your favourite colour

a hue that shines brighter than the rest

the regal and enchanting shade of purple

it not only held a special place in your heart

but also it was simply a part of who you were

a reflection of your vibrant spirit and zest for life

My dearest mum

purple was a colour that quietly adorned your life

a shade that spoke to your soul with fondness

despite its prominence, we never asked why

or paid too much attention to its significance

as it was an intrinsic aspect of your personality

we took for granted until you are with us no more

My precious mum

but now, in your indefinite absence, we yearn

for the secrets of purple with deep persistence

we seek out purple in everything we do

in the sunset sky, the delicate petals of a flower

and the subtle accents of our everyday lives

each sighting of purple felt like a small miracle

My cherished mum

our purple-loving angel, our purple queen

in every corner, every view, every moment

you reach out to us from beyond the veil

here is to the colour of love and remembrance

wherever we go, we carry purple in our hearts

knowing that you are with us, forever and always
