Ta Ngwang Nginyu W. Yembe

Nginyu, 
i dont remember when I met you for the first time. All I remember is that you have always been a part of my family from early childhood memorie.

You were to me a very interresting older brother. Many memories come to my mind. 
I remember once when you discovered how to recycle paper. I don't think you were older than 10. Maybe 11. I watched in awe as you moved all your equipment to our house to teach Val how to do this "magic" from my view point. We watched in awe as you proceeded to "make paper" as we saw it. Aunty had explained the whole process proudly to my parents who made it a point to tell us to watch carefully and learn...

You and Val always disappearing together to God knows where... And I used to wonder - will these boys grow up?
 Well the boy became a man, you finished your university studies and in awe I attended your wedding, then you became a father. 
I was so proud of everything you achieve.

Now, gone too soon. I was not expecting this at all.. you are loved and you are missed. Becasue I trust in God and His word I have to believe you have gone into eternal life. For death can not hold a child of God captivem for even in the grace Jesus is Lord.

Aunty, Enaka, Fai, Omerine, the kids and the whole family.. May God surround you with His comforting presence and heal your hearts with time.
God bless you all. 

This poem is written on behalf oh my mother who lost her best friend - her first born so Nginyu on December 1st 2016.

MY SON, MY FRIEND

I was 23 when we met
I held you in AWE
my miracle, my treasure
My son, my friend

Cherished bond we had
You ran you grew
Amazing child you were
My son, my friend
 

Everyday we spoke
"Mah ye se" you called me
"My own mummy" you called me
My son, my friend

High intellect you had
Many talents you had
I thank God for you
My son, my friend

God fearing you were
Oh so caring you were
Missing you caused pain
My son, my friend

You promised me dear
I before you will depart
But look God planned this
My son, my friend

Oh the hurt is too much
Oh the burden is a lot
What will I do without you
My son, my friend

I am consoled
You knew God before dying
We talked 2 hours before
My son, my friend

I am consoled
You're better off now
You've seen Jesus face
My son, my friend

Adieu Ngingi
Forever in our hearts
Yours tearfully
Enaka, your " Ma"

I am short of words... True we were not really in touch, but Nginyu, you were one of those people I always knew would always be there...Rest boy, rest! Go and prepare us a place.

Helloooooooo Brother Ngingi
I just wonder what it was like
I just wonder
This time last week you had only 24 hours left 
24 as in TWENTY FOUR

Though you have been are whole                                                                                                                                    Though your work on earth was done

Though God had this great plan for you
It is impossible not to cry

Though you've now seen Jesus face
Though I know we will meet again one day
Though it is as was written
It is impossible not to cry

Though I know you are free at last
I still say CHAI CHAI CHAI
Why did you have to go just now
It is impossible not to cry


Though I know you softly shake your head

Though I know you toiled the land
Though I know God called you
It is impossible not to cry

Though I know you are with Him
Though I know it took an instant
Though I know Heaven is now your home
It is impossible not to cry

Though I know you have finished your race
Though I know you are with Daddy and Ebot.
Though I know you kept your faith
It is impossible not to cry

Though you are forever in my heart
I really still cannot accept it
This is why it's impossible not to cry
Sorry Ngingi, RIP. RIPP...
I love you.
It's me, "Ma"
