Poem for Departed Soul
- You lived, everyday like it’s your last
So much that on the day you breath your last,
I could not believe
That the owner of life would take it so fast
Chorus:
What then shall we say?
What then shall we do?
Eledumare, the giver of life
And taker of the same
Has granted rest to your lowly soul
2.Your all you gave to your beloved ones
Your kindness was so great
Men heralded it far and near
Life, you never saw as unending
Alas, yours has come to a stop
Chorus:
What then shall we say?
What then shall we do?
Eledumare, the giver of life
And taker of the same
Has granted rest to your lowly soul
- Your face radiated with an ever bright smile
So contagious was your joy
So high was you spirit
You light up the life of the ones around you
Sadly, the Almighty has called for your spirit
What then shall we say?
What then shall we do?
Eledumare, the giver of life
And taker of the same
Has granted rest to your lowly soul
4.The sound of your laughter still echoes in my ears
Your fragrance still invade my olfactory organ
Your presence can almost be felt
I know you are but a memory
And that your years you have fulfilled
Chorus:
What then shall we say?
What then shall we do?
Eledumare, the giver of life
And taker of the same
He has granted rest to your lowly soul
Iba fun eledumare
Iba ase
