Fare Thee Well Tata Poem by Wilfred Mellers

Fare Thee Well Tata



Fare Thee Well Tata
Written by: Wilfred Charles Mellers
Friday, December 6,2913

9 for the difference you made
9 for the price you paid
9 for destiny's voyage
9 for a peaceful passage

Rarely roads straight but curved
Time you served were underserved
Choose the path that was taken
None left unscathed or unshaken

Still, you tried to reconcile
Face all challenges with a smile
For the truth cannot be concealed
In time all things are revealed

Gone home to milk and honey
God speed on your peaceful journey
No more to carry that heavy load
We'll meet again somewhere down the road

In your convictions, you stood stern
Set an example for the world to learn
Together we rise for divided we fall
Fought the good fight and answered the call

Pride, dignity was the reason
Freedom judged trial for treason
As the hammer struck the crooked nail
Truth and righteousness shall always prevail

Shoes worn seldom squeaking
Freedom you were truly seeking
The ancestors now with you are speaking
In their hands now forever safekeeping
