FUNERAL ORATION TO
STELLA OBASANJO by
Austin chika
Goodbye
Mama Nigeria;
may you ever grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that placed itself
where lives were torn apart.
You called out to our country,
and you whispered to those in pain.
The motherless you
mothered.
The destitute you
cared.
The needy you
comfort.
The hopeless you
restored.
The Politicians
you advised.
What’s more for
human race?
You never
achieved.
Now you gone to
belong to heaven,
and the stars spell out your name.
And
it seems to me you lived your life
like a candle in the wind:
never fading with the sunset
And your footsteps will always,
remain a mark in Nigeria soil.
Goodbye Mama Nigeria;
from a country lost without your soul,
who'll miss the wings of your compassion, Caring and good
advice, more than you'll
ever know.
Today
is our chance to say "thank you"
for the way you brightened our
lives,
Even though God granted you 60
YEARS of life.
We will all feel cheated that
you were taken from us so young, And yet we must be grateful that
you came along to achieve a meaningful life for yourself
and humanity .
Mama
only now you are gone, do we truly appreciate
what you are and we want you to
know that life without you is very, very difficult, for the
motherless,destitute,needy,hopeless, and the politicians that scout
the seat of presidency. Above all, we give thanks to GOD
for the life of a Mother, so proud to be able to call a
Mother, the unique, the complex, the
extraordinary and irreplaceable Stella, whose beauty, both internal and
external, will never be extinguished from
our minds.
May God grant your
soul eternal rest in celestial checadel.
