GONE WAY TOO SOON!
The light goes
Curtain falls
The sky turns dark
The best of us is gone too soon
In the middle of a courageous race
A race well run.
Dearest brother,
My heart bleeds for you
A permanent wound I bear in my heart and my soul
If tears could bring you back to me
I will cry the sea for you
No amount of worldly wealth
Is too much to exchange for your life.
As your breath fades
We pleaded with painful tears for your life
Across the globe, kind-hearted people wail to heaven
But God has spoken, the church must say ‘amen’.
Dearest brother
I will look for you in my dreams
I will look for you
In the wide expanse of the sky
But I trust your soul to the good Shepherd
To keep you safe and happy
Till we meet again.
Your mother and father wish you bye
All your siblings
Your wife and children
All your friends and relatives
God speed, dearest one.
Your brother and friend, Femi
