A Tribute To Papa

On that unhappy morning
The sad sun refuses 
To shine on earth
The sky grumbles in pains
Just to announce the news

Sorrow and agony flit pin me
When I felt the bitter taste of death
The sour crisp wine 
I hold him at high esteem
Oh! Death 
Why stretch thou 

Thy cold hand on him
In deed a tree has fallen
Oh! Our beloved PAPA!
I hope to see you again
On the harvest day
When the new earth shall come
