Tributes

Salifou by Róisín Clark - Age 10

You took Salifou our lovely friend, my rock,

Such a wonderful musician,

Such a wonderful friend.

Life feels empty at this moment in time.

Why did you do it?

Life is not kind.

Such a great person.

If only you knew,

The joy he brought us.

A father of two.

God bless you, Salifou,

Wherever you are.

For I know your drumming,

Will be heard near and far,

You were always smiling,

It was joyful to see.

I just wish you could be here, near to me.

So thank you, Salifou,

For all that you gave,

For I’ve got the memories,

Which I promise to save.

So, please, dear God,

Take care of our friend.

For you have him now,

And we have to mend.
