Poem : Tree Has Fallen (Tribute To Late President John Evans Fiifi Atta Mills)

IT IS SAD
IT IS WORRYING
IT IS DISASTROUS
A TREE HAS FALLEN
A MIGHTY TREE HAS FALLEN
A MIGHTY TREE OF COURSE

A TREE OF MANY SHADES
A TREE THAT PROTECTS MANY
A TREE THAT HAS NO SIZE
A MIGHTY TREE OF COURSE

A TREE THAT HAS A LOT FOR MANKIND
A TREE THAT HAS ACHIEVED MUCH
A TREE THAT IS LOVED BY ALL
A MIGHTY TREE OF COURSE

A TREE HAS FALLEN
WITH THICK BRANCHES
WITH FRESH LEAFS
WITH HEAVY STEM
WITH ANCHOR ROOTS
A MIGHTY TREE OF COURSE

OH POOR COWS
OH POOR GOATS
OH POOR SHEEP
YOUR HOPE IS GONE
A MIGHTY TREE OF COURSE

WIPE YOUR TEARS POOR COWS
WIPE YOUR TEARS POOR GOATS
WIPE YOUR TEARS POOR SHEEP
A MIGHTY TREE OF COURSE

YOU STILL HAVE HOPE
EVERLASTING HOPE
THE CREATOR’S GIVEN HOPE
WHICH IS FULL OF JOY
WHICH WILL BE FOREVER
WHICH THE ENEMY CANNOT TAKE AWAY FROM YOU
A MIGHTY TREE OF COURSE

A MIGHTY TREE OF COURSE
A MIGHTY TREE OF COURSE
A VERY PRODUCTIVE TREE OF COURSE
A VERY ENORMOUS TREE OF COURSE
A TREE HAS FALLEN

My father and President, HE Professor John Evans Atta Mills, this is my sorrowful story in a form of poem to say even though you left us yet your good works will continue to remember, besides you have given us another hardworking leader like yourself.
MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD GIVE YOUR SOUL A GOOD REST.
