Here Lies A Honest Man Poem by Adebayo Caleb

Here Lies A Honest Man



Here lies a honest man
Who lived his life without crime
All his life depended on Christ
He never fought
He never stole
He never coveted his neighbour's property
He was never dull on his right
His conscience never failed to tell him The Right
His children, he taught the way of the Lord

As a teacher who passes all knowledge
Confident to stand before an audience
Went to school in order to help others
His toil and sweat many will not forget
His dedication to work made him great
He has given service of the best
What a great man you were!

What a great sorrow that you are no more
Remembering the joy we had
It's hard no misting an eye
Sweet is the remembrance of The Saints
That good men are not dead
Their works will always speak after them
You came, You saw, You conquered
Everyone misses you! So dearly!
