Before My Light Burns Out... Poem by Owoeye Taiwo Bisola

Before I exude this world of wars and worries
Hold me close in your gentle loving arms
Before I exit this loveless life of lies and lust
Hold me tight in your tender arms with love
Before my soul dances slowly out of my body
Hold me once more, never let go of my body
Before my light burns out like a little candle
Hold me once again with your light and love

Before I leave this earth with heaven at heart
Hold me close, enclose me in your embrace
Before I kiss your lips and my days goodbye
Hold me well, wrap me in your warm embrace
Before I close my eyes in death and stays still
Hold me till my spirit sojourns on to the skies
Before my light burns out like a burning lamp
Hold me with old tales of love, sweet like wine
