Poetry: In memory of a loved one

by Adelani Aderemi

Created on: December 19, 2009

The meeting of an elephant

Takes place in the deep forest

Meeting with a buffalo

Takes place in the jungle

The plumage of the peacock

Is rare among other birds

Dare you are irreplaceable

You left a void in our hearts



Oludare Olusola Lawrence

Son of Odesola

No one knew you would take the journey

Suddenly we heard you’ve left

Gone too soon to your eternal home

May you find the rest we’re all looking for

Not too long after you

Ibrahim Akinyele also took off



Hoping departed people do see

I wish you two happy deliberations

As we used to do together here in the club

You were both past Presidents of GPC

Your good works are living testimonies

Of your valuable contributions to humanity

Live on Dare and Ibro

Till the rest of us join you in the sky
