A Dirge For You （Akinola Obadofin） Poem by Chukwuebuka Adebayo

Forgive us once we die
For through death, o God:
All Men can come out while；
From the troubles in this world.

what gain are of wants to man,
In day of grace to finish his course
Who knows that which is just in plan
Butterfly that eats and bees that stores.


Evening shadows with flowers sleeping
Man and death, Akinola Obadofin head reposes
In comfort of silence and angels keeping
The time right as day of toiling closes.


O thou who do make duo to part,
Make the lost find the dead safe
And give eternal rest to their heart
Take far from us torment of grave.


Blessed be the maker that kills,
Blessed be eveny sun that paints
Blessed be rough storms that stills；
Blessed be the true light that faints.


Dear is our love, we cannot change
That makes us weeping more if we
Think of you dad；measures cant range
You were ours before and ever will be.
