Dad's eye surgery

Eze Onyekachi 2005 (Nasarawa State)



It comes like a joke to everyone,
Not knowing it was something serious
His eyes red, which made us worried,
But as well, thinking it was not serious
Day after day, night after night it grows
Reaching the level of seeking solution
Yes it's something serious indeed .


Seeking further solutions from his assistant
Although many solutions are out there,
Withing for his calling for an immediate respond
Friends, relations, well-wishes and lovedones,
Comes around to share with him their solutions.


It now clear and noted that its a severe case,
To be handled and arrested immediately
He is off to the surgery room,
For the pains to be treated, arrested and lost
Prayers, armsgiving, faith, hope and charity,
Are all needed and wanted anytime anyday
Is gone and gone forever, thanks to God.
