Near to the Grave Poem
I can only imagine that once I was born
Therefore can I remember that I used to have parents
But why can’t I remember when all these happened
Our lives in this world were near to the grave
My mother, my father were nowhere to be found
Before I realized, I was all alone
I tried to call, but no one answered
Our lives in this world were near to the grave
Everybody around us, saw us nothing
They called us “less fortunate”, while others “the cursed ones”
They looked at us as rubbish as they gave out their “cat calls”
Our lives in this world were near to the grave

We thank our God for sending you His servant
You saved our lives from the valley of death
We are now enjoying, hoping for the future
Our lives in this world are no longer next to the grave
Education we are getting a way to a better future
Good food we eat to maintain a good body
Plenty water we are having, cleanliness we are blessed
Our lives in this world are no longer next to the grave
The glittering faces you see, show the future we will live
The good health we have, an indication of a stable future to live
The evident cleanliness you see, welcomes a clear future for us
Our lives in this world are no longer next to the grave
We don’t know how to thank-you for the good work you did
But we know now our loving God is going to hear our cries
Because down deep from our hearts we are much sobbing with thanksgiving
Our lives in this world are no longer next to the grave
