Amidst our tears Is born your life anew On the threshold Of a new course you begin Choked up chests numb From aching pain Crimson eyes burning, still raw Our loss, immortality's gain Step away from here To a life unending Where fate, death or fear Will no more be let in Neither beyond puffed eyes and cries Nor many a running nose of grief Can we completely digest This dish of fate's cruel spoon What rational? What sense? What recompense in the offing??? None deserving of this price! Still that pouch over an arm of memoirs sweet and sour; Took the sandals of time With which you imprinted on history? Step into light Into life eternal That lane Of only the good. Adieu Adenrele Emmanuel Abraham That perpetual light Shines upon you In immortality . . .
