Every year I remember her and its hard not to
I couldn't find better words to express her demise but I'd try
We have gone past the stage where we need to cry
The pain still holds true even though the tears are now dry
This is me celebrating her even without her being here
With the same words I have always used for her since her demise
Her light was put out before it spread
Now, there is no one else to butter her bread
Her sun has gone so dim with no hope
She is like a project now, with no scope
My heart is torn with pain and tears
I am trying to understand your passage
Why did you turn quickly your page?
Who would have thought
That your sun would go down quickly?
Who would have imagined
That your light would be put out?
Who would have thought
That the hug we had was the very last?
Now I refer to you as in the past
I replay your last laugh and smile in my head
I still have your last chats on my phone...I couldn't end it
The echo of your voice sounds in my ears with each passing year
Time heal all wounds they say but with each year of your passing
I am still very lost as to why it happened
How time changes so quickly
You left without a warning, so swiftly
Who would have thought
That your smile would be gone forever
Depriving the world of the power it wielded?
My heart aches for your mum
Who went through so many sleepless nights
Staying up just to join in this fight
Now you left her alone and took the flight
Forever gone away Tola, from our sight
The memories you left behind
Would never be gone in an instant
I hold you in my heart forever, Tola
Sleep on, rest on, enjoy the Father's presence


Thank you for your time.
