Night

In thee, the world brightens
Exposing recondity to us
And yet a way out
In thee we fall to rise

Thou conceive ab inito
The plan of nation building
In you the crown caresses inspiration 
To beautify his mother more

Night, we chat and converse
With our grayish haired roots
To beg and to thank
For greater we a’e in them

A mother
Protecting and directing our course
