We used to use my brothers and sisters name in the song and go through the whole family only knowing the corus. Don't know who we learnt it from. It is a beautiful song and I was just sitting here today and it came to my mind. Naturally I am a new user of the computer and had to look it up. My mother died when I was 12. My meaning to the song is: >>There is A possibility you will meet again someday. We are all born to die. It is the natural process of life. Live life to the fullest>>> For those that are having a hard time with a death of a mother whether it was many years ago or recent I recommend reading. Motherless Daughters. Sorry I didn't look up the author. It really helped me understand that a passing of a parent it a very critical point in someones life. I recommend it highly.
