An Ode to my Grandfather: Chief Obafemi Jeremiah Awolowo SAN GCFR, 37 years on - Segun Awolowo

FOREVER REMEMBERED , FOREVER ADORED 

In the quiet of my thoughts, I see your face,

Thirty-seven years have slipped away,

Yet your presence lingers, day by day.

With wisdom deep as the ocean's vast,

You steered our ship through the tempests past.

In your footsteps, I learned to tread,

Guided by the words you once said.

With courage and grace Papa, you led the way,

Inspiring generations to seize the day.

Forever remembered, Forever adored 

Your legacy, a beacon so bright,

Illuminated the darkest night.

In each decision, I still hear your voice,

Guiding me to make the right choice.

Oh, how I long for one more day,

To sit with you and hear you say,

Stories of old, lessons so profound,

In your wisdom Papa, was solace found.

Forever remembered ,Forever adored 

In the tapestry of time, your threads are sewn,

A legacy of love and truth you've sown.

Though you've journeyed to a distant shore,

Your very essence lives forevermore.

Forever remembered, forever adored,

Obafemi Awolowo, continue to rest in perfect peace 

So Papa, on this day,

I stand on the shoulders of your name,

I carry forth your eternal flame.

With gratitude and reverence, I honor thee,

For the gift of your legacy, forever free.

Forever remembered, Forever adored 

Your grandson , Olusegun Awolowo 2nd
