Summary: Death is unjustly just. Life seems short and passing every moment . Death is inevitable, and the truth is that we cant get out of the life alive, we will all go through that gate - death. Nevertheless, I believe a life well lived weather short or long, makes more meaning than the length of days. As I rightly agree with Normn Cousins - "Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies within us while we live". My call to you tody is , rise up and live your dreams, do not let your dreams die. For we are just passing through this life but once, let's engage our talents and our gifts to serve humanity and make the world a better place, Live fully and die empty. Below is a poem dedicated to the Late President John Atta Mills(Ghana) by Romeo Adza Dowokpor God bless Ghana, God bless Africa, God bless the world. Now that l am gone Gossip and tell not lies about me Now that l am gone Stop calling me names Now that l am gone l urge you all sons and daughters to embrace peace Now that l am gone You would realize my "father for all" message is what we need as a nation Now that l am gone The eagle and elephant that bay for the blood of each other Are now mourning and weeping after my demise Now that l am gone You should by now know that living as brothers and sisters ln love and forgiveness is the way to go Now that l am gone My face would not be on the ballot on December 7th Now that l am gone l wish you could all live in peace as Ghanaians Now that l am gone The issues of my medical check up or medical treatment is of no significance Now that l am gone Pray for my soul to rest in perfect peace Now that l am gone Tell my wife and son to take heart Give and show them your love and comfort on my behalf Now that l am gone l hope all the intra and inter party acrimonies would cease Now that l am gone Promise me to go through the December elections in peace Now that l am gone l pray the heavens rain over Ghana in peace and love My brothers and sisters Now that l am gone Forgive me if l ever hurt you For man is not infallible and immortal Now that l am gone Let it dawn on you that you are also not here forever Now that l am gone Let all the political tension cease and let brotherly love continue Now that l am gone Now that l am gone Now that l am gone This poem is dedicated to the memory of His Excellency President John Evans Fiifi Atta Mills, Former President of the Republic of Ghana, whose sad death occurred on the 24th of July 2012.
