I salute you



I salute you
---------------
Maya Angelou
The world says
You are no more
More they say no more
I feel of you even more
Of flesh and blood
You were made
Heaven by God
We are possible as one
And no man is an island
The truth that inspires all
And finding your soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
Bread loaf is not a stone
Remind us being alone
Now you are gone
How can I believe it
Leaving us all alone
It was a cell so small
Of flesh and bone
But big enough
To accommodate a mighty soul
Now set free for heavenly abode
To share the paradise with God
A symbol of humanity,
Friendship and peace
Only peace and peace

Be showered on you I pray to God………
