Analysis of Ohave



Ohave ©
Gary Shulman, MS. Ed.
August 2, 2022

The corporal world has set free an angel
Ohave - a celebration of unconditional love
Ohave - soul now floating above
Watching over human progeny
Never judging, just loving
Never scolding, hugs never withholding
Energy of love still felt, still uplifting
Brother Nehri his life energy force sadly shifting
As grief has stricken brother Nehri so hard
But love’s healing rays motivate this bard
To exclaim on this day that time will heal
Never forgotten, the pain intensely real
Let us think of what Ohave would want for us all
That 4 legged prophet would not want to see the fall
Of his beloved humans and 4 legged brother
Of passion to help and support one another
Ohave lives on as the vulnerable thrive
Ohave lives on making passion survive
We love you for eons, and one day more
We will not let you down-your spirit shall soar!
