Pastor Dear! Dear Pastor! ! Poem by Patricia Osamor

Pastor Dear! Dear Pastor! !



Rejoiced at every opportunity to hear you pray
Reassured at your prophetic declarations against tribulation fray
Waited at every opportunity to be in your presence any day
Most importantly waited for next Sunday

But No was told of a sudden crash
Oh No you traveled for a bash
Prayed and prayed that you got to your destination
Oh no was told you have not arrived the location

Where are you? My heart in a sqash
Oh no in the plane crash
Does that mean I get to see you no more
Pain gripped my heart so much more

Tonnes of weight like heavy burden
On my heart and shoulders laden
Your name declares double joy
Your death brought double agony

Left this sinful world
Transcended into another land
Wish you could come back
But I know you prefer where you are

Assured we will see again on that day
With this I hope and pray that I live to qualify to see you anyway
My Pastor dear, My dear Pastor, too soon gone away

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
My pastors were involved in the Dana aircrash that occured on the 3rd of June, this is a tribute from me to them. I recently started listening to a radio programe dedicated to reading poem on air and got inspired to write this tribute and two other poem on that day. I eventually decided to see if I could take the new found skill and love further, this occasion my joining this page.
