JOURNEY TO HEAVEN
Wake me up in the morning, Mother,
Tomorrow is our school picnic day,
All our friends join together for the great day,
The boat journey will be great fun.
We will all sing and dance,
Paddle in the river with our hands,
Make paper boats and put it in the water,
All sorts of fun we will have tomorrow.
Mother woke her son up in the morning,
Gave him breakfast and sent him with lunch,
Teachers and students altogether
started the long journey.
Merrily they went, time flew away like wind,
and it was time to return home.
Mothers waited in the school campus,
All of a sudden, news flashed that the boat sank.
Mothers mourned and wept their hearts out,
Ran to the riverside and saw
their children lying motionless.
Precious children went to their Heavenly Father,
Who are we to question our Creator?
