Tribute (to the late President Mills)

life failed him when we needed him the most
Death took him to the pit; we could not reach
Is it by mistake or design that
When we need someone the most, he leaves

Please stay and never leave
Sometimes life is not enough and we don't know why
It makes us cry, the road is not long
But we have to carry on and I don't know why
So cause no pain because this is the last time

So with all the humility, Prof. Mills left
Let us cry hard in this pouring rain
And with this pride that we remember his humility
Am choosing my last words from a dictionary
To describe what has no name
And with this pain that I celebrate the loss
Of a great man who was once a President
Of a great nation.
And we cry, needing him now

Please stay and never leave
Sometimes life is not enough and we don't know why
It makes us cry, the road is not long
But we have to carry on and I don't know why
So cause no pain because this is the last time
