Oh,
the
sun
sets
slow
today
In
the
quiet
of
our
hearts
We
gather
for
a
man
of
peace
For
our
father,
Sagbo
Hounnoun
Pierre
A
pillar
standing
tall
through
the
shifting
years
You
held
the
family
with
love
and
with
tears
Guided
our
steps
when
the
path
was
unclear
Now
we
stand
in
silence,
wishing
you
were
near
A
life
of
wisdom,
a
book
of
truth
You
gave
us
strength
in
the
days
of
our
youth
We
honor
the
roots,
we
honor
the
tree
Sagbo
Hounnoun
Pierre,
setting
your
spirit
free
Come
join
the
circle,
the
family
bond
As
we
whisper
his
name
to
the
great
beyond
Rest
in
peace,
dear
father,
your
race
is
run
Under
the
light
of
the
setting
sun
Family,
faith,
and
unity
stay
As
we
gather
to
lay
you
down
today
On
the
third
of
October,
when
morning
is
light
We
hold
the
wake
keep,
through
the
dark
and
the
night
At
the
family
residence,
Azizadogbamé
We
share
the
memories
that
never
will
fade
In
Porto-Novo,
where
the
river
flows
deep
We
honor
the
promises
we
meant
to
keep
Testimonies
rise
like
the
smoke
in
the
air
For
the
life
of
our
father,
Sagbo
Hounnoun
Pierre
Come
join
the
circle,
the
family
bond
As
we
whisper
his
name
to
the
great
beyond
Rest
in
peace,
dear
father,
your
race
is
run
Under
the
light
of
the
setting
sun
Family,
faith,
and
unity
stay
As
we
gather
to
lay
you
down
today
Sunday
morning,
the
fourth
of
the
month
We
offer
our
prayers,
our
strength
as
one
From
ten
to
twelve,
the
final
farewell
Stories
of
kindness
that
we
love
to
tell
Rest
now,
father,
in
the
cradle
of
grace
We
will
carry
your
love,
we
will
carry
your
face
A
guide
to
all,
a
legacy
left
behind
In
every
heart,
a
treasure
we
find
No
more
labor,
no
more
earthly
pain
Only
the
peace
that
we
hope
to
gain
We
walk
this
path
with
a
heavy
soul
But
knowing
your
spirit
is
now
finally
whole
Sleep
in
the
quiet,
sleep
in
the
light
Everything's
fading
into
the
night
Come
join
the
circle,
the
family
bond
As
we
whisper
his
name
to
the
great
beyond
Rest
in
peace,
dear
father,
your
race
is
run
Under
the
light
of
the
setting
sun
Family,
faith,
and
unity
stay
As
we
gather
to
lay
you
down
today
Rest
in
peace,
Sagbo
Hounnoun
Pierre
We
gather
in
faith
We
gather
in
unity
Always,
always,
always
