How swiftly has the night come;
Your sound and voice we hear no more;
And for the bitter pang in your last breath,
May the stars lead you to heaven’s shore
I dread your fears may come alive,
And feral tears will gladly flow;
Your joy, our song, your care, all gone;
Your love we’ll take wherever we go.
Should our hearts grow cold and weak,
Who would bid our doubts to stay?
How dark and cruel this night appears
To cage a light and shroud its way
Lord, lead your seed home now to rest
And help our faith to stay awake;
A light does sleep among the dead
To soon be seen when dawn shall break.
Tribute to my late dad, Aderemi Olajubu Jacob, who died on the 11 th of May, 2015. May his soul rest in peace.
