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!
