I remember a friend

I remember a dear friend, among a host;
A friendship with which I could boast
Among colleagues our friendship was the toast
And our story is still told from coast to coast.

I remember the excitement about your upcoming wedding
It was 2009, and we had all hoped for a happy ending
In October, to Abuja we were heading
Suddenly you fell ill, and it led to the news all mortals are dreading.

I remember how from 2009 to 2012, you suffered
Taking every proposed remedy the physicians offered
Strongly believing respite will come from each new solution being proffered
In the end , it was your life that was smothered

I remember our discussion in 2012, on May the thirteenth
A day before you left - May the fourteenth
The plans we made for our future generations , maybe up to the fifteenth
And how you suddenly left, almost without a hint.

We had talked for about three quarters of an hour
About everything, including your beautiful flower
And how she’d being with you all through, for almost every hour
And in your voice, I had felt a new surge of faith and will power.

You believed that you were healed
That against every ailment, Jesus was your shield
And we all, through prayers, your case had appealed
Yet to the cancer, you finally did yield

Your friends wished your life they could somehow extend
But none had the power over his life, to lend
So, we hope to meet you somewhere in the end
For now, we say rest on in the lord dear friend
