A Huge Tree Has Fallen!

A Huge Tree Has Fallen!

A Huge Tree Has fallen 
Who Will Lift it Up 
The Sky that was 
Once, covered is Void! 
The Birds Are Crying! 
Their Shelter Is Gone!

A huge Tree Has fallen, 
The Tree  That once provided 
Shade for the Birds 
And Hunters Is Gone For Good,
A huge tree has indeed fallen!

A huge Tree has Fallen 
The sudden Fall of 
The tree has shaken the Roots 
And the Ground can not hold 
It! All who take cover 
Under the Tree Are asking;  
How did it Happen? How did it happen?

A huge Tree Has Fallen 
Both Enemies  and Friends 
Are Astonished. The forest 
Is quiet. Not a Sound 
Can be heard! Yes, It is Finished! 

A huge Tree indeed Has Fallen!

Sister Sophia, as A tree 
You provided both Shade 
And a Cover for the weary
The hungry, the naked, the Depressed
And the Thirsty! This cover Is Gone, 
Your children  Are naked! 
A huge Tree you were 
In the Forest of Humanity.

A huge Tree Has Fallen 
Both animals, Great And Small, 
Friendly Or Hostile; will 
Miss the Cover and 
The Shade You once Provided 
Though You Are Gone
Yet, You’ll  Not be Forgotten!

Sister Sophia, Heaven 
Holds a place And a  Seat For You! 
Rest till We All join You 
In Everlasting Glory.!  
Your departure Was 
So sudden and shocking!

Rest In Peace! 
(Dedicated To Sister Sophia Asante )
