Tears of Absence To Oyedokun Simeon: My Beloves Friend

Tears of Absence To Oyedokun Simeon: My Beloved friend when my yearning becomes a letter Lost inside dust of time This poem will deliver my feeling To you Simeon the son of Oyedokun For home is always home, For only those who stay when flame of war erupts Frienship is not for coward And struggle is not for fragile hearts Life is not always smooth sailing It has its ups and downs, Smiles and frows There is no success without failure Hardship and pain, you have to endure Don't give up! Simeon, when my song becomes a melody Of tears it is only because of you! My poem is not for pall - bearers But I read dirge in your absence Or is there anything to compare with Absence of the death? But we won't die the son of Oyedokun For our friendship is a destiny of tomorrow Through we are way - farers Simeon, Remember! Remember!! Greate things could be achieve tonight we need to struggle with all our might Though when everything becomes cloudy Surely, we would reach the top And succeed one day. Written by: Ajeyemi Wasiu .A.
