*POEM FOR FATHERS*
Dearest Father,
You loved me even before I was born,
In my mother’s womb you wanted me,
You prayed hard for me.
May Eledumare bless you
May Eledumare keep you
You shielded me from every arrow
You protected me against the world
You directed me in the right paths of life.
May Eledumare bless you
May Eledumare keep you
You who suffered so I can have a good life,
You who toiled so I can have it all,
Your sacrifices for me has paid off.
May Eledumare bless you.
May Eledumare keep you.
Thank you for your love,
Thank you for your kindness,
I am who I am today,
Because of how you have loved me.
May Eledumare bless you.
May Eledumare keep you.

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rights in a gloom fillef room
Why cry for a soul set free
Eledumare be with my people
Console my people
Miss me a little, but not for long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love we shared
Our pure and beautiful it was
And miss me but let me go
Eledumare be with my people
Console my people
For it is a journey we must all take
And we must each go alone
It’s all part of the Master plan
A step on the road closer to home
Eledumare be with my people
Console my people
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know
Laugh at all the things we used to do
Visit all the places we went
Remember every promises made
Miss me but, but let me go
Eledumare be with my people
Console my people

Quietly in the evening,
You answered to a gentle call
You took the hand offered by Eledumare
And quietly left us all
May Eledumare lead you home
With Him by your side
You are home now
The day you left us all
Our hearts were heartbroken
The smallest parts are still with us
And the biggest part with you
May Eledumare lead you home
With Him by your side
You are home now
For the rest of our lives we will miss you
We miss your smile, your joking ways
We miss the things you used to say
We miss the things you used to do
May Eledumare lead you home
With Him by your side
You are home now
You were always there when we needed you,
No task too great or small
With loving heart and willing hands,
For us you did it all
May Eledumare lead you home
With Him by your side
You are home now

I can hear the birds sing ,
I can hear the dogs bark, the cars horn
I can hear wispers
I can hear the sound of the ocean waves
I can hear you
Thank you, Eledumare, for the gift of hearing.
I can see the mountain top
I can see the sunset and the sunrise
I can see the yellow moon and the white snow
I can see you
Thank you, Eledumare, for the gift of sight
I can smell the roasted corn
The fresh bread and fresh flowers
I can smell fishy air
I can smell you
Thank you, Eledumare, for the gift of Smell
I can touch the ground
The green vegetables and cold ice
I can touch the trees
I can touch you
Thank you, Eledumare, for the gift of Touch
I can taste the crispy chicken
I can taste chocolates and cakes
I can taste an apple juice
I can taste you
Thank you Eledumare for the gift of Taste
