Weep No More

© Francis Maugo

At the point when you remember me,
Kindly don't sob.
You attempted everything you could
To rescue my dieing soul

Dear you felt down and out when
Relatives proved unable
To bear the cost
Of my hospital bill
You were generally there for me
Close to my death bay

Nyakwara kindly don't sob 
I lived a good life ,
I ran the nine decades race well
And won it ,I fought many battles 
And here I am waiting patiently for the Prize 
After my triumph

My dear though couldn't see you,I could feel your presence at my death bay
You were there for me till my last breath
Kindly dust up and walk up tall
For all is well, 
I have rejoined your grandpa
Who left me several decades ago
Kindly don't weep for I am in safe hands
Have been received warmly
Into this new world

'Nyakwara'kindly take great consideration
Of the promises you made to me 
Be the light to bring back the Maugo I used to
Cherish in the 50s

Kindly heed to your parents advice
Take good care of yourself
Weep no more 
For I my soul is 
In good place
