Future's Memories Poem by Adewale Ajakanri

Death! Death! ! Death! ! !
Death is a natural part of life
It really hurts to see our loved ones leave the world
Death sometimes alert us
And sometimes death comes as a dark shadow
Beckons his prey into the unknown by a soft whisper in the soul

I stood still with tears dropping from my eyes
I cant count many that death has denied us from smiling together
Messages and letters flew around telling me who death has once taken again

My pen filled with tears as i remember the great ones that left us behind
The loss of a loved one is so hard to face
I cant still face the death of 'Rose Mariam Adams' that left my ni**a's world on 'June 7 2014'
I felt i could hide from death after that news and go somewhere and escape
But death is something we all must face

This same death sent a message when 'Gbenayon A Beatrice' left us on the 31st of July 2015
She never said she was leaving
She never said Goodbye
She was gone before we knew it
And only GOD have the reasons

A million times we needed them
A million times we cried
If love alone could saved them
They never would have died

It also broke our heart to loose 'Mr Aderibigbe Owoduni Amos' on the 29th of Janaury 2015
But he never left alone
For part of us went with him the day GOD took him home

My hands are weak and my head is heavy
We were in total darkness when death took away 'Oladipupo Olatunde' on the 6th of november 2007
He said we shouldn't grieve for him
He said for now he is free
He has followed the path GOD laid

Each morning when we awake
We know which souls are gone
And no one knows why Death took them
As we try to carry on our hearts still ache with sadness
And many tears flow as we lost 'Chief Ogbonna Agwu' on the 30th of October 2015
Our thoughts are always with you
'Mr Fasawe' also left us and we could not stop shedding tears

We also paused and our heart bleeds when we lost 'Mr Odukoya'
Your place no one can fill
In life we love you dearly
In death we still love you


There will always be a heartache loosing our loved ones and often a silent tear
But always a precious memory of the days when you were here

We hold you all close with our hearts
And there you will remain
The death of 'Mr Oladipupo Olatunde', 'Mrs Rose Mariam Adams', 'Mr Aderibigbe Owoduni Amos', 'Mrs Gbenayon A Beatrice', 'Mr Fasawe', 'Mrs Odusanya', 'Mr Osakwe', 'Chief Ogbonna Agwu', 'Mr Odukoya', 'Miss Yeside Ajakanri' and many more souls stays in our memories
Your names will walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again

Our family chain is broken now
And nothing will be the same
But as GOD calls us one by one
The chain will link again.....

REST IN PEACE
