An Ode To A Beloved Sister by Linusclark(m): 8:45am On Apr 27, 2012 |
If u don't know the colours of sorrow:look at my tears, If you have never known Melancholy:feel the pains in my heart! O Tears! Why has thou made me an acquaintance,when you know your home dealt not in my heart? Days were like weeks, Weeks like months, And months like years; Oh sister! Why did thou have 2 go? When will thou return? Who will be my sister? Where will I ever find that requited love of yours? Thy demise was a pearl of thunder: It struck down the happiness imbued in the world, Darkness was high and low, The birds sang with profound hatred, The Sky was starry-eyed, The Trees were as silent as a corpse, The moon out of frustration refused 2 shine, Even the splendid Stars wept a million tears! O Ijeoma! Ijeoma! My one and only sister, A doting sister dat broke mountains 2 bring me joy, If only I could turn back the hands of Time, Then the pangs of nostalgia i feel at present will be replenished with everlasting joy and mirth! May thy gentle soul, an epitome of peace, an emblem of love, rest in perfect peace,amen! Friends,life is not a bed of roses, It pricks like a thorn, And destroys like an earthquake, Why then do we lay waste our time and talents? We must learn 2 glisten like the sun by day, And glow like the moon and stars at night! Remember:Time is nobody's friend,and that A stitch in time saves nine!

@OP,d tear was beautifully shed in ink but I would like u to relate how time did not allow Ijeoma to fufill her dreams or u stop at d farewell.That would sustain d emotion in us |
