PAINFUL

Painful as my story is told

Or painful as the story will be told

The story will start

On a day of the twelve month

The first day for that case

First it was when i was welcomed to this world full of pain and sorrows

Painful as it will be narrated

Or painful as it will be read

In it there will be

Someone who fought for the best

A teacher who taught from the heart

A lecturer who lectured units and students passed

An author who authored books and were read

From generation to generation

Painful it will be

Painful as it will be wrote

Or painful as it will be scribbled

Of a minister who preached word

Of a mentor who mentored many but lacked strength

Of a father who took care of her daughters with much zeal

It will be painful but i won’t be there

Painful it will be throne away

And painful they will say ashes to ashes and sand to sand

And i will be no more there

I will be forgotten

But my generation will still remember me

Its painful

From the heart it is

It will be said and expained

He did to remove pain for himself

Yet he bought much pain to us

Yes i call visualize

It will be painful
