Celebrating Ingumba Iyamagomya
My dear friend Ingumba Iyamagomya
We have once more gathered
We've come to honor you
To recollect and remember
The man Ingumba Iyamagomya
And see the meaning of your life
You were a great teacher
Lived what you taught
You drank what you preached
You were generous and inspiring teacher
You gave knowledge freely
A gift we now know you were to us
Someone so dear
A friend, a teacher, a human being
Endowed with confidence and prudence
You pulled many lives out of the abyss of hopelessness
You helped may up the rocky path up the nasty hills
You guided many through thickest and dangerous forest of life
You served, shared and inspired
In your life you fulfilled the meaning of friendship
Throughout the years
You lived to die but one day at a time
