**Title: Goodbye, Dear Aunt Elesi**
(Verse 1)
Born on a June day, nineteen sixty-five,
A heart full of love, you kept our dreams alive.
Elesi Rokosevuya, our shining light,
With Iliapi by your side, everything felt right.
(Chorus)
Oh, Aunt Elesi, you taught us to believe,
In the power of love, in the joy we weave.
From Sunday school lessons to choir songs so sweet,
Your voice was our melody, our hearts at your feet.
(Verse 2)
Every Sunday morning, you’d guide us with grace,
A caring soul, a warm embrace.
You loved the children, your laughter would ring,
In our little world, you were everything.
(Chorus)
Oh, Aunt Elesi, you taught us to believe,
In the power of love, in the joy we weave.
From Sunday school lessons to choir songs so sweet,
Your voice was our melody, our hearts at your feet.
(Bridge)
But then came the shadows, a sickness so cruel,
We prayed for your healing, our hearts felt the duel.
In the hospital bed, you held on so tight,
But we knew in our hearts, you were ready for light.
(Verse 3)
On that January night, you called us all near,
With tears in your eyes, you whispered sincere.
“Forgive me, my darlings, I must set you free,
I long to see Jesus, He’s waiting for me.”
(Chorus)
Oh, Aunt Elesi, you taught us to believe,
In the power of love, in the joy we weave.
From Sunday school lessons to choir songs so sweet,
Your voice was our melody, our hearts at your feet.
(Verse 4)
In the still of the night, you cried out my name,
Asking what’s left, feeling weary of pain.
“Oilei Lo, they’re too late,” you softly sighed,
“I want to go home, to the One who provides.”
(Bridge)
With every heartbeat, I prayed to the skies,
“Lord, let her come home, wipe the tears from our eyes.”
But you held on for him, your brother so dear,
A final goodbye, wrapped in love and fear.
(Chorus)
Oh, Aunt Elesi, you taught us to believe,
In the power of love, in the joy we weave.
