I know you've gone long time ago but there was love in my heart that's why I kept you in me that's why I made mummy tape to care your corpse that's why I took care everyday so that everyone know this love that's why I decorated your every activities on the painting canvas yes there is love still that's why I come almost to visit your mummy which is preserved for 3000 years
There was love that's why I cultivated the flowers garden that's why I made fly the pigeon on the blue sky that's why I drawn still the white clouds in my canvas that's why I lit up the evening light
Love eternised through mummy... Love redifined with a new concept of keeping it alive....well crafted.......10++
