[female

Aweh)
Oh,
Milicah,
we
miss
you
The
sun
rises
slow
over
the
township
hills
I
feel
the
silence
where
your
laughter
used
to
fill
The
kettle
whistles
but
there’
s
no
one
there
to
call
I’
m
standing
in
the
hallway,
staring
at
the
wall
You
taught
me
how
to
stand,
you
taught
me
how
to
be
Now
I’
m
navigating
life,
searching
just
to
see
Your
face
in
every
shadow,
your
heart
in
every
breeze
My
dearest
mother,
bringing
me
down
to
my
knees
Oh
Milicah
Chibuye,
heaven
holds
you
now
I’
m
wiping
all
these
tears,
I’
m
making
this
solemn
vow
To
carry
all
your
kindness,
to
keep
your
spirit
bright
You
are
my
morning
star,
you
are
my
guiding
light
Rest
well,
Milicah,
sleep
in
perfect
peace
Until
the
day
my
own
journey
finds
its
final
release
I
remember
the
way
you
danced
on
Sunday
nights
The
way
you
made
the
room
glow
with
all
your
inner
lights
Sharp
sharp
was
your
wit,
kind
was
your
soul
Losing
you
has
left
such
a
massive,
empty
hole
But
I
hear
your
whispers
in
the
middle
of
the
rain
Eish,
mama,
it’
s
hard
to
carry
all
this
pain
But
you
told
me
to
be
strong,
to
never
let
it
go
To
move
with
steady
rhythm,
steady
and
slow
Oh
Milicah
Chibuye,
heaven
holds
you
now
I’
m
wiping
all
these
tears,
I’
m
making
this
solemn
vow
To
carry
all
your
kindness,
to
keep
your
spirit
bright
You
are
my
morning
star,
you
are
my
guiding
light
Rest
well,
Milicah,
sleep
in
perfect
peace
Until
the
day
my
own
journey
finds
its
final
release
Though
the
drums
are
soft
tonight
And
the
piano
fades
to
gray
I
know
you’
re
watching
over
me
In
a
much
better
place,
far
away
Yebo,
you’
re
resting,
you’
re
free
from
the
strife
Thank
you
for
the
gift,
thank
you
for
my
life
The
community
remembers,
they
speak
of
your
grace
There’
s
no
one
in
this
world
who
could
ever
take
your
place
I’
m
lighting
a
candle
for
the
legacy
you
left
Even
in
this
sadness,
even
in
this
bereft
I
feel
your
presence
close,
like
a
comforting
hand
Walking
with
me
through
this
broken,
shifting
land
Oh
Milicah
Chibuye,
heaven
holds
you
now
I’
m
wiping
all
these
tears,
I’
m
making
this
solemn
vow
To
carry
all
your
kindness,
to
keep
your
spirit
bright
You
are
my
morning
star,
you
are
my
guiding
light
Rest
well,
Milicah,
sleep
in
perfect
peace
Until
the
day
my
own
journey
finds
its
final
release
Rest
well,
Milicah
Chibuye
My
mother,
my
queen
Sleep
now,
sleep
in
peace (
Sho,
mama)
Until
we
meet
again.
