Wishes From The Grave Poem by Imaobong Igwe

I thought I'd see my future bright
That pains and sorrows I'd never see
And tears and Pains are former things
But joy and grace would never seized

I lived a life I'd never wished
And though my future all unknown
But all my hopes in him relied
My tears he'd send the rain to wash

When night nor day I cease to see
My gentle soul in lonely grave
Where light are gone but darkness rules
In you my light I'll then relied

My soul is weak my strength is gone
The songs I learnt I could not sing
And though the world I've left behind
My soul still long and wished to live.

But all I wished, I wished in vain
Cos here in grave there is no grace
Let those who live, their heart repent
And let their wish, be wished with faith
