Janet Jacob requiem

a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob

Go depart rest in peace

Heavens await thee now

Allow thy self to leave this cage

He will hold thy hands.

You will walk in his presence,

Father who gave his son will hold you as his child

No pain shall ever touch you

He shall all thy needs, provide

You shall never feel lonely

He will be by your side

What peace it is

When he is beside

You’ll need no council to defend thee

He shall be thy guide

What the world can’t even afford

Heavens have plenty and more

There is love eternal that never ends

No doubt shall touch thee in that land

He will hold thy hand

In his presence, my love shall stand

This poem was written for my sister during the time when I used to be by her side in the hospital.

The last three stanzas were written later after she went to meet her lord.

wishing her all peace and joy may god bless her.amen

Hold the hands of the clock ( Janet Jacob )

a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

Hold the hands of the clock,

Let it click no more,

Or else add years to her life,

Two or three months are too short a life.

Every day a page is stuck off,

This notebook has ninety pages,

Who knows if all those pages will be stuck off?

Or others are added in grace.

Well remember you,

When you are no more,

In pain, I write these lines,

In lord, this pain I confine.

You stood as an inspiration,

Even now, you are the same,

Where would I look for directions?

When death doth rob my dame?

Die not as millions die,

Die as majestic king,

Let not fear ever touch thee,

Die with grace fly with wings.

[This poem was written when the doctors had told about the magnitude of the disease & expected her to live just three months. The last paragraph was added when I saw all hope's for survival were over.]
