**Title: In Loving Memory of Mama Petronilla**
*(Verse 1)*
In the warmth of April’s breeze,
A light was born in '67,
Petronilla, our guiding star,
Your love brought us all to heaven.
With Valentine, side by side,
Together through life’s joyous ride,
Ten hearts beating with your grace,
In every smile, we see your face.
*(Chorus)*
Oh Mama, Petronilla,
Your spirit shines in all we do,
From the classroom to our hearts,
Your love forever will see us through.
In every lesson taught,
Your wisdom stays alive,
Though you’ve gone to rest,
In our hearts, you will thrive.
*(Verse 2)*
From Rakunai’s gentle shores,
You nurtured dreams, opened doors,
Tina and Max, William, Joe,
Loata, Jerry, your love did grow.
Dolo and Missie, Willie too,
Denden, we carry pieces of you,
A legacy of strength and grace,
Together we’ll honor your warm embrace.
*(Chorus)*
Oh Mama, Petronilla,
Your spirit shines in all we do,
From the classroom to our hearts,
Your love forever will see us through.
In every lesson taught,
Your wisdom stays alive,
Though you’ve gone to rest,
In our hearts, you will thrive.
*(Bridge)*
Teaching the future, you sowed the seeds,
In every success, your spirit leads.
Though the tears may fall, we’ll hold you tight,
Guided by your love, we'll find the light.
*(Chorus)*
Oh Mama, Petronilla,
Your spirit shines in all we do,
From the classroom to our hearts,
Your love forever will see us through.
In every lesson taught,
Your wisdom stays alive,
Though you’ve gone to rest,
In our hearts, you will thrive.
*(Outro)*
Rest now, dear Mama, your work is done,
In our memories, you’ll always run.
With each passing day, we’ll cherish your name,
Petronilla Kalula, forever in our flame.
