No More

(In Memorium Prof John Bosco, former head of Medicine)

No more can we see him
This gem plucked by the creator's whim
Whose dedication to this noble art
Placed him a world apart

No more can we hear his footsteps
No longer to hear his joyous voice
He inspired a generation he taught
By the excellence that he sought

No more shall he raise his hands to heal
Or to comfort the dying and the ill
This great man who was so much to many
Now lies silent and still
