BYE-BYE, MY MAMA
A tribute to my dear mother, Mrs Ruth Bamidele Ikuenogbon who went to be with the Lord on Saturday 5th October 2019 at the age of 93. R.I.P.
When daddy passed on,
It hit us like a bomb;
I thought you were not
Going to be with us for long,
But God gave us the grace,
To have you not for days,
But six more good years, he granted,
Our hearts not to render wounded;
Now you’ve left us,
Causing us to bear the loss,
To join daddy, carrying your cross;
I can imagine you and daddy,
Smiling gladly,
As you hold each other’s hands,
Before the Prince of peace;
I try not to cry,
But how can my eyes be dry,
When my Mama is gone?
Mama, you’ve done
Your bit in life,
Nothing left for which to strive;
Mother, nothing I can do
Will be enough, to
Repay all that you’ve done;
My dear Mum,
That is true;
Eleven times you went through labour,
To bring boys and girls into the world;
You loved and cared for your husband,
And defended your children,
Protecting us like the hen,
Hiding her chicks under her wings;
You watched over us, like the eagle,
Seeing near and far for our safety,
And fending evil forces,
By the power of God;
We didn’t have much,
But you made us lack nothing,
Never allowed us to go hungry,
And clothed us with your garments of love,
Always trying all you could to care for us;
My sweet mother,
I can never forget the sacrifice you’ve made,
All your sufferings day and night,
Giving yourself discomfort,
In order for me to have comfort;
Mama, you were the first angel
That God brought into my life,
And you ran God’s errands well;
You were a giver,
Never have you been a taker;
You never slammed your door at anyone,
All you had, you gave with unconditional love;
Our house was never empty,
Because of your goodness;
You took me out of nothing,
And made me into something great,
Someone to rub shoulders with

Great men and women,
On the world platform;
Now you’re no more here,
To watch how your children,
Grandchildren and great-grandchildren,
Rise to greater heights;
Mama, all your children adore you,
All your in-laws cherish your sweetness,
Your kindreds appreciate your forthrightness,
And I know God will welcome you with smiles,
For you were a virtuous woman;
We will all miss you, my Mama,
You were the best mother,
I wouldn’t have swapped you for any other,
And if God would bring me back to this world,
I pray that I would come through you, like before;
Mum, I know I cannot talk to you anymore,
No more those encouraging words from you,
No more chance for your loving hugs,
And those funny stories and lullabies;
It’s only in my dreams,
That I will from now see you;
Mama, when you appear to me,
Please show me those your happy smiles,
To remind me of our happy times;
I miss you, Mum,
Rest in God’s perfect peace;
I hope you recognised Papa,
When you arrived yonder;
Please say, ‘hello!’ to daddy for me;
I love you, my Mummy,
And I miss you so much;
I know we will meet again in eternity,
Embraced by our Lord and Saviour,
Never to be separated again;
Until then, my precious Mum,
Princess of King Oto,
The great Kalashuwe of Apoiland,
And beloved Queen of Agbidi
Of the Gbabijo clan,
Omo Mama Tititi,
Omo Gari e nodi,
Iye Ile,
Iye Tubo
Iye Joe
Iye Deji
Iye Sunkan
Iye Nuga
Iye Salome
Iye Gbayi
Iye Tedo
Iye Feso
Sleep well, my Mama,
May your royal soul,
Rest in perfect peace;
You will remain
In my evergreen memory;
Bye-bye, my Mama.
