History Would Remember Me Poem by Kelly Iyogun

History Would Remember Me

Rating: 3.5


My name would remain on her lips,
Like the kiss of a lover on the lips of his love.
She would speak of me like i were the only one to grace her abode.
If she decide to write a book, my exploit could never be summarized.

History would remember me
Though i be not famous now,
But when am gone, in sack clothe she shall morn,
Her tears will never run dry
Her weeping will echoe a lifetime,
She shall beat her breast in grief and say;
'Oh! ! The world has lost a son,
The world has lost a star,
The earth has lost its flavour,
The universe has lost its jewel'

History would remember me;
For ages to come she would sing my name,
She would sing of my deeds
She would sing my creeds,
Offspring shall ask 'who be this mighty man? '
They shall desire to be like me,
They shall choose to be called my sons and daughter.
The principles i leave behind would be to them a fortress.

History would definitely remember me,
No day that passes her would she not feel my warmth,
Her memories of me would be like a diabetic wound, though a sweetness; a feeling that refuses to fade to her;
It would be as though everything has lost its charisma,
It would be as though the sun has lost its intensity,
The moon; its luminousity,
The sky; its blueness,
The star; its radiance,
The earth; its greenness
And the sea understood not the course of its tide.

History would remember me;
My gentleness would she ache for,
My love and tenderness shall she desire,
She would miss the comfort of my outstretched arms,
She would miss my humor,
But when she gaze at the smiles of the many blessed by my heart she would sigh in relief for in the eyes of the orphan; she sees my fatherly love;
With the weak, defenseless and the oppressed; she sees my protective shield
To the homeless, the naked, the thirsty, the hungered and the poor; she could feel my comfort.
To the needy; she sees a man ever ready for service.
She would say 'truly there be not a man like me(iyogun kelly olagoke solomon) for. God has indeed used him to inspire many'
HISTORY IS SURE TO REMEMBER ME
