We
remember
you
today,
Mama.
Mrs.
Monica
Ayefu
Okeme.
Born
of
the
house
of
Audu
Ojapata.
We
hold
you
in
our
hearts.
Nineteen
sixty-four,
a
light
began
to
shine
Born
to
the
house
of
Audu,
a
gentle
heart
so
fine
Mama
Monica,
a
pillar,
a
soul
of
steady
grace
We
still
see
the
kindness
written
on
your
face
You
walked
this
earth
with
a
spirit
soft
and
deep
A
promise
that
a
mother
would
always
safely
keep
From
the
days
of
your
youth
until
the
day
you
went
away
We
think
of
you
in
the
light
of
every
single
day
Oh,
Mama
Justina,
we
whisper
your
name
The
world
feels
colder
without
your
flickering
flame
October
first,
the
date
you
took
your
flight
Leaving
us
here,
reaching
out
for
your
light
We
miss
you
in
the
morning,
we
miss
you
in
the
dew
Mama,
our
hearts
are
anchored
now
in
you
We
remember
the
Akamu,
the
work
of
your
hands
The
simple,
honest
service
you
gave
to
all
these
lands
Lucky
Ayefu
Okeme,
your
son,
he
feels
the
sting
Justina,
your
daughter,
hears
the
song
the
angels
sing
Abel,
your
boy,
carries
the
weight
of
the
loss
And
Abednego,
Judge
Abe,
feels
the
heavy
cross
Even
your
daughters-in-law,
they
shed
a
silent
tear
Remembering
the
wisdom
you
whispered
in
their
ear
Oh,
Mama
Justina,
we
whisper
your
name
The
world
feels
colder
without
your
flickering
flame
October
first,
the
date
you
took
your
flight
Leaving
us
here,
reaching
out
for
your
light
We
miss
you
in
the
morning,
we
miss
you
in
the
dew
Mama,
our
hearts
are
anchored
now
in
you
Ruth,
she
stands
steady,
missing
your
smile
Ojochegbe
Abednego,
walking
that
lonely
mile
Your
biological
sisters,
the
brothers
by
your
side
They
gather
round
the
memory
where
love
will
now
abide
Saturday
the
tenth,
we
laid
you
in
the
ground
But
in
the
quiet
echoes,
your
spirit
still
is
found
We
compose
this
melody,
a
tribute
for
the
soul
To
help
the
broken
pieces
feel
a
little
bit
more
whole
Judge
Abe
asked
for
music
to
honor
who
you
were
A
woman
of
the
village,
a
heart
without
a
blur
We
say
goodbye
to
Monica,
the
wife,
the
sister
too
The
auntie
of
the
family,
our
love
returns
to
you
Rest
now
in
the
silence,
rest
now
in
the
peace
May
the
love
you
planted
here
never,
ever
cease
Oh,
Mama
Justina,
we
whisper
your
name
The
world
feels
colder
without
your
flickering
flame
October
first,
the
date
you
took
your
flight
Leaving
us
here,
reaching
out
for
your
light
We
miss
you
in
the
morning,
we
miss
you
in
the
dew
Mama,
our
hearts
are
anchored
now
in
you
Rest
in
peace,
Mama
Monica.
We
will
miss
you
always.
Until
we
meet
again. (
