Like a flash
My friend left us
Like a dream
I got the news
Death did its worst
He took my good friend away
My friend of lofty dreams
My friend full of ideas
My friend full of courage
Who dared to be different
He struggled to live
Against all odds
He was doing his very best
He worked
I mean
Worked his best for God
Ah!
Many dreams
Unfulfilled dreams
He was to be enlisted
In the school of pastors
He was to be trained
In the trade of building souls
He was to be enrolled
But
Death took him without notice
He left
Life a flash
Is it true that he died?
Samuel A. Eyitayo
