To Say Goodbye Poem by Adeosun Olamide

Flavio comes on thorny paths
Thro the storm he saunters here
With robes his- soaked in blood
Flavio comes home one last time

His young wife- she makes their bed
And his kids all wait him come
Their gone love is coming home
They know not he comes to die

Flavio too- others heart
Like mother his who long loiters
She stood by- a yearning ghost
Waiting take- Flavio hence

He by morn reaches home
And eager kids run his hide
With kept strength lifted them
And on passed he- in wife’s arm
