There is a thunderous sound in the land of words
A thunderous sound so noisy that it makes me fear
A wordstress has fallen, not on many beds
But in the soil. A soul so dear
A mother she was with her words
Telling encouraging tales which end with “There is a light at the end of the tunnel” which all hearts hold dear
That mighty wordstress has fallen
But society says it’s her calling
She lived in her words
Taught with her words
Slept in her words
Admonished with her words
And whipped with her words
Yet now is implanted not in words
But in the silence of the earth which draws our tears
She chose Peggy as her alien name
And selected Oppong as her native name
“ἐyἐ ampa sἐ odupong atutu
ἐna nante brἐbrἐ,
Nante brἐbrἐ na kↄtwἐn yἐ wↄ awieyἐ asuayᵋpa
Womma ἐresu nanso wonsa ano ntwurↄyἐ ἐredwodwo yἐn akoma
Da yie,
Kↄda bↄkↄↄ wↄ asomdwie mu”
Yes, rest in the most perfect of peace.

Unquestionable but inevitable.. We are all bound to climb those stairs in the end Let’s console ourselves with her good works. You are lucky she blessed you with knowledge. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
