Poem

Loss fills the air
As people queue;
Death can speak

~~~~~~~~~


A common thread
Links us in gloom;
Mindful faces

~~~~~~~~~


Dry humid March
National mourning;
Heavy hearts

~~~~~~~~~


Gratitude speaks
Multi-racial tones;
Heat wave trials

~~~~~~~~~


Gun carriage cortège
Last journey route;
Crowds salute

~~~~~~~~~


Heavy rains fall
People brave downpour;
Final goodbyes

~~~~~~~~~


Public affection
Never seen before;
Singaporean grief

~~~~~~~~~


Six days of heatwave
Hellish hot and humid;
Seventh day torrent

~~~~~~~~~


What a great loss
A Singapore icon;
Stuff of legends

~~~~~~~~~


Old and young
All races here;
Braving the rain

~~~~~~~~~


Sea of faces
Shouting your name;
Astounding legacy

~~~~~~~~~


Mood of the moment
Loss feeds the strain;
Sky oozes tears

~~~~~~~~~


You cried for us in '65,
2015 we cry for you;
History shows

~~~~~~~~~


Huge debt owed
Our hearts know that;
Rainy salute squares

~~~~~~~~~


See the flags
The heartlands wave;
Broken hearts wail

~~~~~~~~~


History will write
We will remember;
Lasting legacy

~~~~~~~~~


Two names stand out:
Lee Kuan Yew lived
For Singapore

~~~~~~~~~


A people mourn,
In your passing;
We gel as one

~~~~~~~~~


Rest now in sure peace
Your work is done;
Singapore prospers

~~~~~~~~~


Sign a few words
Condolence Book filled;
Gratitude uplifts

~~~~~~~~~
