Saluting A Man of Great Honour

What is the honour in death I ask you?

The pride of a nation ceased at a time in which its citizens were not ready for

What we know or think we knew don’t matter anymore

Anyone who brings peace before his brothers and sisters is worth every tear drop

that falls out of a nation’s eyes

It seemed as though it was yesterday that you were sworn in

A humble being with great humility, a fighter for his people, a leader respected

You stood and represented everything positive

You held such grace and even before your younger generations your every word began

with a please

What kind of man were you?

You were the messenger sent by God to guard, teach and mold a nation

Your calling was not to change our world but to live and to serve as an example to

the rest of the human race

Your sudden departure has left as scared and broken the very best part of us, our

hearts

How amazing it is too, that it has brought your people, nation and all your citizens

together in every part of the globe

We counting our tears drops wondering when we will meet you again

It’s not farewell, it’s not good bye

It’s till we meet you again

You were our pride and the only one of a kind

It is our prayer that our heavenly father has accepted you into his kingdom

We now understand that on the 24th day of July 2012 the place he had prepared for

you was ready and awaiting your arrival

Our heart cries out for you every second, minute and hour of our existence

But heaven, heaven celebrates you

Just when you were in the prime of it all, a period of greatest prosperity it all

came to an end

Your purpose has been fulfilled and yes indeed you have made your mark

Aside of Jesus Christ how can one man’s departure bring a nation to its knees and to

a point where peace is recognised and peace unites as all

Peace is what you stood for

Well done, well done, well done

President John Evans Fiifi Atta Mills rest in the ever loving arms of your creator.

Sincerely

LINDA OSEI-AKOTO
