Your vivacious, toddler's imagination recast Ojo nla
(Jimo for Baba Bunmi) --- as Anana; have you met again?

In your equestrian teens in London, ensconced
In a world of saddles, stirrups, whips, riding suits

You were made whole and hearty when Toks came along,
Inseparable until you left her and London behind forever

Back in Lagos, loneliness and other vagaries of life set in
The poverty of body, spirit, mind, and soul, all vicissitudes

Anticipating a trying sunset is Whitney's song, "I look to you"
So I drafted a poem and picked her song that reminds me of you

Your physical presence is gone forever but I know
God has you in His keeping; I have you in my heart

My darling mother,
Your life was a blessing to me!!
You were loved beyond words!!
You are missed beyond measure!!
I miss you so very much my wonderful mum!!
I think about you every single day and I pray that you are happy at eternity. You have left a massive void in my life and I pray that with time, I will be able to come to terms with your death.
I don't have a closure yet as I still don't know what happened at that hospital and what led to your death.
Rest in peace my darling mother.
I love you very much with all my heart!!
Your darling daughter. Xxx
