It's funny how the years go by so quickly
I wish I can pick the good days like I choose my beans so patiently
Each year is a reflection of how you are - so tenderly
Too bad I couldn't watch you grow into grey hair like the elderly
It's another year without you for me to reach
25 years gone just like that without a new word from you to preach
Each year is never the same without you but there is your voice in me to teach
Your sweet and calm voice that drives away my fears - tender and sweeter than peach
Still fresh in my mind like yesterday when you never came back home
With soaked face I cling to my pillow on the foam
Still very young, I still can't believe I didn't even know your tomb
Like dealt the heavy blow with me through you, like a bomb
You were not even graced with the dignity of bidding me goodbye
To me you are not gone regardless because I get timely reminders of you
You made me fall in love with seeing beautiful smiles because yours is the best I've seen
You made me appreciate calmness like a river because that was all you exhude
And not a year passes without your thought, can't exclude
Adebisi Abiodun, you may be gone but never forgotten
Earth's loss is heaven's gain - it's one big homecoming for you in heaven
I know you are still singing with the angels because you were one when you were here
Sleep after toil, ease after war, calm after stormy seas and life after death
It does greatly please
A day less to singing alongside you forever, darling sister
It's true but sometimes people come in like a breeze then roll out like a storm
It's a testament of the greatness that they possess
The love and bond we share can never regress
"It's been a long day, without you my sister, and I'm going to tell you all about it when I see you again. We've come a long way, from where we began, but I'm going to tell you all about it when I see you again." 25 years today, always like yesterday. I miss you and I can't say that enough. Rest on Adebisi Abiodun. Your smile still play on in my head...still haven't seen anyone with that smile...
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
