Legacy of Light: A Tribute to Mrs. Rassie Bah
In the hushed whispers of mourning’s embrace,
We gather to honor a soul of grace.
With heavy hearts, we bid adieu,
To a luminary whose light still shines true.
Mrs. Rassie Bah, in your final flight,
You’ve left behind a beacon bright.
Your name etched in the annals of time,
A legacy of love, pure and prime.
As Deputy National Youth Leader, you stood tall,
A champion for justice, answering the call.
With courage unyielding, you led the way,
Guiding our hearts through night and day.
In the chambers of service, your voice rang clear,
Advocating for those whom others may fear.
You raised the banner of hope and strife,
Embodying the essence of a purposeful life.
Though tears may fall like rain in the night,
Your spirit soars on wings of light.
For in every heart you’ve touched and blessed,
Your memory lives on, forever at rest.
As we gather in sorrow, we also rejoice,
For your legacy echoes with a powerful voice.
May Allah grant you peace in the highest abode,
Where angels sing praises to the mercy of God.
Mrs. Rassie Bah, in your final departure,
You leave behind a legacy of love that endures.
Rest now, dear soul, in eternal embrace,
As we cherish the memories of your gentle grace.
