If Only I Could Say Goodbye Poem by Abubakar Aliyu

In a happy moment comes sad one.

In a sweet time evolve bitter one.

In a trustful time follows betrayal.

In a joyous life comes death.

Your departure shakes my world.

If only a chance was to be given.....

My tears shed are for the much left unsaid.

Tedious Anger tantrums,

Of all a sudden i get lost in despair given to grief.

If only a chance was to be given....

For the deeds left undone make me weep.

Sophisticated memories twinkling in my head.

Tears rolling down for the care left unshowed.

If only a chance was to be given....

Oh what a lost.

With old age comes compassion,

But your patience i hailed most,

Being content despite the ups&downs.

A peaceful soul fighting disease,

Oh too late it is for the whistle is blown.

Safe from oblivion is this memory.

To be passed to the youngones. For them to know what they've missed.

If only a chance was to be given, i will get to know you better.
