FRANCIS NII

Dedicated to Leonard Roka and his wife Delphine
on the passing of their daughter, Dollorose

Only yesterday you bloomed
Like a rose in the morning sun
Full of life, promises and purpose

Only to fade and wither
So early and so young
Leaving us with broken hearts, grief and sorrow

Only fond memories
Of your smile and innocent voices
Shall we cherish on in our hearts

Wherever you may be, Darling
Forever we will love you
Until the end of time

Rest in peace
