Dedicated To All Who Lost Their Lives During The Abule Ado Community Gas Explosion

She died in the service of the Lord
She died in active service
She dared where others cowered
She is now our Heroine
But in all things, we thank you Lord...

We don't know the why?
Why did HE take her on a sabbath?
Maybe because she is a saint
Who gave of all, until she gave of herself
But we cannot question the Creator

Had the fire service been swift...
Had the authorities been proactive...
None layeth it to heart
Alongside her proteges
They have all into peace

We stand with Bethlehem international Catholic School
Holy Mary mother of God, pray for us
We decree quick recovery to the injured
To the families of the bereaved
Commiserations, God knowest...

To Sister Henrieta Alokha and others
You have transited into peace
Where the grass is greener
And the water purer
Rest perfectly in the bossom of our God

Take a minute as you navigate through this piece
Say a prayer for them
Say a prayer for Nigeria
That affliction rise not again
That's what Psalm 122 verse 6 says

I wish I could ask God why?
Children cut in their prime
Injuries with scars through time
Who will heal our land?
We pray for mercy over our nation
Because from the begining, it was not so

Sister Henrietta has finished her cause
Surely her epitaph shall read
To the glory of God, for the benefit of mankind
For a life of selflessness and service
What will yours read?
When your sun finally set?
Live to leave a legacy

My ink drips red; blood
In honour of the departed
I drop these poetic lines
That I'll remember you for live
In prayers and supplications
And hoping it will stir a prayer revival
In our beloveth Nation

It you know your DOB
Nobody knows their DOD
Live right today and ever after
And you'll never be afraid of tomorrow
Jesus has conquered death
