The Greatest Loss in Life

Wed, 25 Jul 2012 Source: Clive, Bernard Kelvin

Death is unjustly just. Life seems short and passing every moment . Death

is inevitable, and the truth is that we cant get out of the life alive, we

will all go through that gate - death. Nevertheless, I believe a life well

lived weather short or long, makes more meaning than the length of days. As

I rightly agree with Normn Cousins - "Death is not the greatest loss in

life. The greatest loss is what dies within us while we live". My call to

you tody is , rise up and live your dreams, do not let your dreams die. For

we are just passing through this life but once, let's engage our talents

and our gifts to serve humanity and make the world a better place, Live

fully and die empty.

God bless Ghana, God bless Africa, God bless the world.

Below is a poem dedicated to the Late President John Atta Mills(Ghana) by

Romeo Adzah Dowokpor

Now that l am gone

Gossip and tell not lies about me

Now that l am gone

Stop calling me names

Now that l am gone

l urge you all sons and daughters to embrace peace

Now that l am gone

You would realize my "father for all" message is what we need as a nation

Now that l am gone

The eagle and elephant that bay for the blood of each other

Are now mourning and weeping after my demise

Now that l am gone

You should by now know that living as brothers and sisters

ln love and forgiveness is the way to go

Now that l am gone

My face would not be on the ballot on December 7th

Now that l am gone

l wish you could all live in peace as Ghanaians

Now that l am gone

The issues of my medical check up or medical treatment is of no significance

Now that l am gone

Pray for my soul to rest in perfect peace

Now that l am gone

Tell my wife and son to take heart

Give and show them your love and comfort on my behalf

Now that l am gone

l hope all the intra and inter party acrimonies would cease

Now that l am gone

Promise me to go through the December elections in peace

Now that l am gone

l pray the heavens rain over Ghana in peace and love

My brothers and sisters

Now that l am gone

Forgive me if l ever hurt you

For man is not infallible and immortal

Now that l am gone

Let it dawn on you that you are also not here forever

Now that l am gone

Let all the political tension cease and let brotherly love continue

Now that l am gone

Now that l am gone

Now that l am gone

This poem is dedicated to the memory of His Excellency President John Evans

Fiifi Atta Mills, Former President of the Republic of Ghana, whose sad

death occurred on the 24th of July 2012.
