Mum
I just stopped by
to show you our new car.
Dad, I know
You would be proud.
Let me drive you both
where there is no tomorrow
You who gave your lives
for our todays.
The showers of rain
I'll take as your blessings
Till we meet sometime
beyond the sea.

In loving memory of Alda Mendonca (17 January 1930 - 20 December 2004) and Alex George Mendonca (14 September1929 - 20 July 2017), Vasco. Pic by Brian Mendonca.
The title is a blend of Kia - the make of the car, and Kyrie - the ancient Greek prayer. Sung as 'Lord Have Mercy' in the Catholic rite for Mass, the chant supplicates God for his mercy, forgiveness, and healing.
