IN MEMORY OF PASTOR MRS. PATIENCE UMO ENO
Painful echoes of your departure remain
Piercing hearts, and causing endless pain
Precious memories of your love and light
Permanently etched, in our sight
Passionate servant, your legacy stays
Powerfully inspiring, countless days
Pure and gentle, your heart beat strong
Pouring love, where hearts were wrong
Peaceful soul, in Christ’s loving arms
Protected from life’s harms and alarms
Praising God, your voice still rings
Proclaiming hope, to joyless springs
Precariously, you tended the old
Providing comfort, to the forgotten cold
Peaceful refuge, for weary souls
Pointing them to heaven’s goals
Profoundly, your absence is felt
Painful longing, in every heart that’s dealt
Prayers and tears, for your return
Pleading with God, to heal and learn
Pivotal moments, you shared with glee
Precious laughter, and tears of harmony
Pillar of strength, in darkest night
Pointing us to eternal light
Peacefully, you rest, your race is won
Precious crown, forever shone
Pastor Patience, forever in our hearts
Pure love, that never departs
Precariously, you left behind
Painful memories, of love and time
Your “Golden Boy”, your guiding light
Pining for you, through endless night
Pleading heavens, to comfort him
Provide strength, to your loving kin
Protect your children, Akwa Ibom’s pride
Preserve their hearts, and be their guide.
