To greet the people and to breathe the air with dust<br>
His cry was loud that I could hear it in the womb<br>
Since we were two, they expected me soon.
<p>For him whose outfits was always the same as mine<br>
Posing we had nice shots with wonderful smiles<br>
A very cheerful world was ours in childhood<br>
That everyone knew us in our neighbourhood.</p>
<p>For him who would not let anyone beat me<br>
Not peers and not even those we saw as enemies<br>
Together we’ll sneak out thru’ the gate to play<br>
But not anymore, not even today.<!--more--></p>
<p>For him who left this cruel earth very early<br>
Sickness came and he started to fall ill<br>
His heart grew weak that he couldn’t hold on any longer<br>
It was a great lost especially for my mother.</p>
<p>For him whom death seems to have snatched<br>
To him alone I was better attached<br>
Though young, I wept and most time became very quiet<br>
They even told me I refused every diet.</p>
<p>For him I know not what else to say<br>
But I wished I was able to prolong his stay<br>
I hope to find someone such friendly and brotherly<br>
To save me from this boredom of been lonely.</p>
<p>For him whom the Lord has given heavenly duties<br>
Where worship and praises never cease<br>
We’ll talk better when we meet<br>
Then I’ll tell you about all you’ve missed.</p>
