We'll meet ahead

 
      GOODBYE

Although you won't wave back

With your now-resting tired hand

Or say "goodbye" back with a smile

On your face which forever smiled.

Only a few days back you were here

Walking with us,

Not walking-away from us.


We all live to-one-day leave all,

Where you have gone

We'll all follow sooner or later.

The path you walked

Cleared the way for us who follow.


We'll continue walking

Although no more can you walk with us,

So Goodbye though a big suprise

Is the news that you're already gone.


Remember us where you have gone

We'll remember the good you've done.

You won wise man,

But now we have lost you.

(Tribute to Ndebele author and poet,

B.D Ndlovu).
