DEATH
SHOT OF WORDS Death arrives like a sudden flash, A shock that stays, a pain that lasts. Tears flow freely, a deluge of grief, Please, take this handkerchief, let me share your relief. Death is inevitable, it strikes without warning, Sometimes it knocks, but even pleas can't stop it from dawn. The sad news came, a truth hard to bear, Baba is gone, but death's victory is short-lived, for I believe he's only sleeping in the Lord's embrace, His legacy lives on, a comforting grace. Don't cry, for he's at peace, no more pain or strife, It's helping our daddy rest in eternal life. Sorry for your loss, may my condolences bring you cheer, May God's love and strength be your solace, always near. Abiola OlaOluwa Poet & Author
