ALL I HAVE LEFT IS MEMORIES

Strange voices, strange voices i heard calling
Unpleasant stories in my ears ringing
Noises that 'he's gone, he's gone'
Who? He that was for greatness born
He has gone into the world for good
Making noise fill the neighbourhood
Friend like no other,
One who will forever be my friend
He who has always been my confidant
Such friendship my heart long hungered for and still wants.

Echoes, timeless echoes of voices of the past
Pictures of gone moments, but how long will they last?
For thats what you left behind - memories
Yesterday feels so much like past centuries
So much a strong bond you've created
Such that can never be outdated
Friends will come, friends will go,
But none will ever be like you - how i loved you so
Now i look back on these years
And all i see dripping on my book are tears.

Undying, undying will the love i have for you be
Numerous years of friendship in future i hope to see
Days of recounting old tales
Will we see if breath never fails
But now that you are here no more,
Every pleasure seems to be a bore
No soothing word seems to stimulate
No word of comfort dost placate
Now all that used to be interesting
Seems to be nothing and never alluring.

News, news only do i hear from you
News i hear seems scary and powerful
That another might take my place
That you'll remember our friendship no more at a gaze
Oh, how i think so naughtily
Blame me not, your absence has made me like a baby
But little did I know about the depth of our togetherness
Which must have led to oneness
Farewell now, farewell friend as you go,
Te quierro y adios mi amigo.
TO MY FRIEND AND BROTHER WHO LEFT FOR GREENER PASTURES,
 Babatunde Oluwaseun Owolabi. .

Victory Signs

When you keep on fightin'
After you lost your strength That's the sign of a victory

When darkness is all around you
You still find your way
That's the sign of a victory

When you keep giving without expecting returns
That's the sign of a victory

When you forgive the wrongs
Though,painful and hurtful
That's the sign of a victory

When you share your widow's mite
Especially,with the helpless
That's the sign of a victory

When you doubt your path
Just to be sure you're on the right track
That's the sign of a victory

When you question your origin
Wanting to know about your being,
That's the sign of a victory

When you felt cheated and deprived
But you never know how and why
That's the sign of a victory

When you sing harmoniously within,
Even without a single beat
That's the sign of a victory

When the hinges of doors of opportunity screeches
That's the sign of a victory

When the sun seemingly appealing and warming,
That's the sign of a victory.

When the sky seemingly near
It doesn't matter where you're standing
That's the sign of a victory

When you finally see a Hand in the cloud,
After several quest.
That's the sign of a victory
When you read this and feel inspired
That's the sign of a victory

When you smile without an explicit reasons,
That's the sign of a victory

When you're expectant despite the odds,
That's the sign of a victory

Love , joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance.
That's the sign of a victory

When you're standing with God
That's the sign of a victory.
Till I cross your path again,remember to make a difference....‪#‎Rawfacts‬.
