Agnes Poem by Alexander Onoja

Immeasurable distance fills my soul with grief,
wilt thou oh Aunty for ever sleep?
Death being a coward, came as a thief,
and causeth a family to weep.
Oh Aunty, wilt thou never more awake?
Leaving our visions & understanding opaque.

I can't fathom the possibility of we,
ever finding an equal replacement.
I can't forget the image of thee,
wishing i could talk to you even for a moment.
Hey! Aunty, i still remember you,
impossible to imagine a we without you.

You are always smiling in most cases,
talk isn't over, though words are placid.
You dont deserve a word but phrases,
and death if being human, will i bath with acid.
Families and friends have shed a few tears,
this is from me and all those who cares.
(R.I.P Aunty Agnes)
