We Remember

(Dedication: Memorial to LKY) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Death comes in time to each man, Dear memory transcends span." Glimpse of familiar face Gone to eternity, Fond memory we trace Frames immortality. This much we all know: We thank you gratefully Though we did not know You personally. Our hearts feel sadness still Where secret tears still flow, Our loss finds deep reveal No one can ever know. Thus we do remember How we got to now and here, Our people now ponder How to live purpose most dear. So here we now forge anew A bold Singapore story; Fondly we remember you: Etched our living legacy. Leon Enriquez 21 March 2016 Singapore (Note: LKY are the initials for Lee Kuan Yew, the founding prime minister of Singapore, who died on 23 March 2015.)
