DEAR UNCLE JOHN

DEAR UNCLE JOHN
Dear uncle john,
I know you cant hear me for you are no more but i will stick this letter on your tombstone so that the spirit of the dead can help me voice out my lamentations in a language of the dead and pass my regards to you (my dead uncle).
Uncle John,
you died a poor man but many people benefited from the little money that you had.
And when my parents died i had no one to look after me , even the hope of living a bright future was lost , But when you took me out from the street where i was just begging for sweets , my lost hope was restored.
You treated me like your own flesh when i was just a girl from the street , dancing for sweets.
Uncle john,
you taught me the way to live and you convinced me that being an orphan it's not the barrier to success but it takes hard work and determination to be successful
Uncle John,
I know you are at rest and if not then i wish you all the best for you were my dearest.
Rest in peace uncle john and return if possible,
For with your presence i was able to do what i wanted to even though today attending my anniversary is impossible for you are no more.
