Your Love Will Be Passed On
Will it help if you know
You are with Nnanna, every day,
Who feels you with every breath,
Your thought never leaves him,
With every decision he make.
Will it help if you know
You are with Sinachi and Le’Anya everyday
Who feel your hands, your touch, your smile,
Who hear your voice every day,
Who saves your place on the couch, by their side, their hearts.
Will it help if you know
Your thought never will leave them,
All the love you shared with them,
All the tears and pain you made go away,
Will it help if you know
You are with Sinachi and Le’Anya, everyday,
Who will grow up to be just like you,
Who will tell their children wonderful things about you,
Whose children and their children,
Will put your name on trees at Christmas
Will it help if you know
In your time together,
All the memories you left,
Will last in their hearts,
Treasured memories they never forgot.
Although you have left,
Now you walk above,
You are always with Nnanna, Sinachi and Le’Anya,
Surrounded always by your love.
Now you don't have to worry,
For your love will be passed on,
Cause even though you left them,
You are Always in their Hearts.
Oma.
