"SEYE: A poem, a prayer, and a cheer"
Now in this world, there are, different types of people.
The most special inspire, a joy that's irresistible.
It's like they were born to encourage you.
And it never matters, what they are going through.
Just thinking of Seye...
Ha! You want to cheer up & laugh nìyẹn!
"Hey, wetin dey happen gan-an!? How you dey?"
That infectious smile on his face.
Followed always by a cheering phrase.
Disarming you with grace.
Oh how I love how you've run your race.
Seriously... You go to his place.
At work, at church, at home or even at play.
The joyful service of blessing is just the same.
So today, even in our grief;
Yes, as we seek relief;
We ask and wonder about you, our ice-breaker and encourager-in-chief.
We ask ourselves, what would Seye Ogunlana do?
What would you do?
I know one thing for sure...
You'll pick us up from the floor.
Even now I hear your voice from heaven.
Ah? Who's wearing Chelsea number seven?
What more can we say? We thank God for you Seye.
In you, and through you;
Christ's light will never stop to Shine.
So, thank God for you Seye
We thank God for you Ronke. We thank God for you all the kids.
We praise God for you Seye.
We really do.
Thank you
In Jesus Name
Amen
