Bro. Yemi
We agreed on one thing (among many) - that Sept. 8th was perhaps the best date known on the calendar.
You were one, I always longed to see in Church - honourable, respectful, wise, jovial, mischievous, humorous, softly-disposed, handsome and God-fearing.
You catered and cared - budding the node of an expanded family, in your own environ.
- Ever volunteering; ever learning; ever faithful.
Though teary our eyes, in hope enlivened!
Had death known
You'd in any which way won
Surely would not have dared touch you
Had death known
Your memory was blessed
Would never have bugged you
Had death known
It ain't a finality
Would have spared you
Its sudden call
Had death known
The fondness all shared
Would have shrunk back
At the thought to hurt you
Had death been able to look
Right beyond your 'vail'
Would have seen you ecstasic
In Glory right now
Had death known
You'd forever live
In the hearts and minds
Of diverse alike
Would rather have opted
To perhaps, leave you be
"Oh death, where is thy sting? Oh grave where is thy victory .... " - our soon-to-actualise saying in Christ!
Adieu, brother and friend
We'd all later meet
To never part no more.
