Ọmọlọla Victoria



Ọmọlọla Victoria

Aburo mi Ọwọn
Aburo mi atata

Iku mu ẹ ni kekere
Amọ Kristi fi gba ẹ la ni

April 1980
My kid sister
Lọla died

No autopsy was done
So I'm not really sure
Of the cause of death

However, I am sure
Of the cause of life
Since she was less than a year
She could not choose
Her spiritual destiny

Therefore I'm sure she's in heaven
Worshipping her Creator
And my creator too

I missed her and in a way
Still miss her
But I'm no longer sad
That death stole my playmate
I rejoice in life
I rejoice in the Lord

Her name was Ọmọlọla
I call her Victoria
She is Ọmọshẹgun
She is Ọmọjare

April is a blessed month
It's the month I celebrate
When my sister received the cworn
Of victory over death
