Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!

TO YOU, A LIFE WELL LIVED


FROM BIRTH YOU WERE AN ACTIVE INFANT
YOU LIKED ATTENTION AND YOU GOT IT
SLEEP YOU ENJOYED
A FIRM BUT YET A GENTLE HAND YOU HAD


YOU WERE A HANDFULL
IN YOUR WAKE YOU LEFT OPEN AND BROKEN HEARTS ALIKE
NOW YOU LEAVE BEHIND A RIVER OF TEARS
SOME SMILE AND OTHERS WINCE WHEN THEY THINK OF YOU


NOW YOU ARE AT A PLACE WHERE SLEEP IS ENJOYED
AND NO ONE TO DISTURB YOUR PEACE
WETHER WE SMILE OR WINCE WHEN YOU'RE NAME IS SAID
ONE THING FOR SURE,
WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU


FAREWELL MY SKAT
