የእኔ ባል የልጆቼ አባት

ሰስቼ ስምህን እንዳልጠራ ብዬ
ልዩ ስም አወጣሁ ባል ስልህ በል ወዬ

በአለም መጠሪያህን ስምህን ደበኩኝ
ባል ብዬ ጠራሁህ የአንተነቴ አኩርቶኝ

ከመጀመሪያውም እኔ አንተን ሳውቅህ
ክፋት የሌለብህ ነበርክ ደግ የዋህ 
ምን ነካህ ይባላል ጥለኸን መሄድህ

ንጉሥ ባባ ብሎ ፃፈ አይፓዱ ላይ
የት ሄደ ልበለው ደጅ ደጁን ሲያይ

ፉንዬም እሮጠች አገር ጥላ ጠፋች
መሳዩን አባቷን ከቤቱ ስላጣች

ዘመድ አዝማድ መቷል ባል አስተናግዳቸው
ሳቅና ጨዋታው የሚያምረው በአንተ ነው

ሰለሞንም መቷል በሮ ከጀርመን
ባል በል ቀና በል ታውቃለህ አመሉን

ቀድመሀት ስለሄድክ አምሳልዬ አዘነች
እኔ ልቅደመው እሱ ይቆይ አለች
በድንገት መሄድህን ከቶም አልወደደች

ኧረ ባል ቀስ በል ምንድነው ችኮላው
ብዙ ነገር አለ ገና የምናደርገው

ባል ውበቴ ጌጤ ነህ እኮ ኩራቴ
እባክህ ቆይልኝ ልበልህ በሞቴ

ቤቱን የማያምነው ውዱ ባሌ ሄደ
ልጆቹን ወዳዱ ደጉ አባት ነጎደ

ተሾምዬ አደራ የባልን ነገር
ከኔ መለየቱ ከሆነ የምር
ግንባሩን ሳምልኝ እንደ ልማድህ
ድብስብስ አድርገው ከእቅፍህ ከተህ

ሰለሞን ዘሪሁን የልጆቼ አባት
ትዳሬ የሆንከው ለ22 ዓመት
እኩያ ሚስትህን ጨክነህ ከተውከኝ
ንጉሥና አርሴማን አደራሽን ካልከኝ
አደራ እንዳልበላ በፀሎት ልበርታ
አንተንም ያኑርህ ከፃድቃኖች ተርታ

My heart is broken for all of you. Solomon was such a kind and genuine soul, and I feel so grateful to have known him. I always admired the deep love he had for his family and the strong, beautiful marriage he shared with Helina - a bond we should all strive to have. His sudden passing is such a heartbreaking loss, but his memory will live on in the love he gave, and the example he set. Please know that I am holding you close in my thoughts and prayers during this unimaginable time. I am here for you all now and always. 

With so much love, Carrie Vardaman (Baker)

Our deepest condolences to the Zerihun family.

On behalf of our family, We would like to send our love and condolences to you all. We are so sorry for your loss. He had so much to look forward to. 

We cherish the great time we had with you guys when we visited you last time. We can still remember Solomon's gentle, kind presence and the love he showed to you guys.

It was such an unforgettable time. He will be missed dearly.
 
May he rest in eternal peace. May God give you, your children, and the whole family the strength and comfort at this difficult time. እግዚያብሔር  ያበርታሽ ህሊንዬ, እሱ በቸርነቱ መጽናናቱን ብርታቱን ለመላው ቤተሰብ ይስጥልን::

ህሊን 
ሀዘንሽ ከባድ ቢሆንም በእግዚአብሔር የማይቻለም የለም። የምታገለግያት ኪዴነምህረት አትልይሽ። ከልጅነትሽ ጀምሮ የምታመልኪው አምላክ ከአጠግብሽ ይቁምልሽ። ልጆችሽን በደሙ ይሸፍንልሽ። አይዞሽ የኔ እህት።

Solomonye! እግዚአብሔር  ነፍስህን በአፀደገነት ያኑርልን!  ሁሌም በውስጣችን ትኖራለህ! 
Ilaye, I pray and believe that God  will give you and your children the unlimited strength , courage and wisdom to.passthrough this difficult time.
Menge, Asnakech and the rest of the family; I also  pray for you to have the strength to cope up  with this difficult time! 
May his soul RIP eternally!

Helinaዬ

We are deeply sorry for your loss . Solomon was a wonderful person and a great father.  We cannot imagine the pain you and your children are feeling. 
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers every moment. 
In this time of sorrow, may these words bring some comfort:

“ Do not fear, for I am with you 
Do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, I will help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” - Isaiah 41:10

With love and sympathy. 
Fanaye & Ermias

Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the power of minds.   Rest in peace dear Solomon 🙏🏾

እግዚያብሄር በአፀደ ገነት ያኑርህ
