Hannatu's Epitaphium

Five years have rolled by in haste 
Still my memory of you hasn't gone to waste
I remember your motherly face so kind in stare
And your wisdom words I still adhere 

If I could turn back the hands of time
I'll do all my best...not sparing a dime
How nice, your heavenly voice to my ears
I miss you both by days and years 

A mum, a friend
You were to the end
Your charm was clear, your judgement was fair
I always remember your exit with tears

Though you left us in this world of fear
I reflect on all our happy times and cheer
Until we meet, our yearn will be
To be with him forever and ever


Elegy for a Mother and Friend, Dr. Hannatu Yako.
