Farewell

Grief greets sorrow this sad sad day; Broken hearts feel the dry March air; A taut hollow now comes our way; A certain chill brings death to bear. In the last light when sleep brought rest, Your soul found ease in silence grim; We mourn your flight to yonder quest; So Rest In Peace with your sweet dreams. We want to say how proud we are That you were here to help us grow; It's true to say you were our star; You loved us dear in selfless show. A people's man who served a cause; Your death our loss beyond measure; Your forged bold plans and stayed our course; Flowers we toss to one treasured. Farewell fits feel as we mourn and sigh; No words can sum the impact here; Will our hearts heal to bear new highs? We feel shock numb with loss of cheer. May your soul rest in higher spheres: May you find joy in love's embrace; Fly to a quest as twin flame cheers; Bear love's employ in ample grace. Here and there see your face brief; Teary eyes spy man in the street; Just everywhere your face floods grief; Singapore cries as the times greet. A nation mourns a patriot son, Father figure who made us feel Great and well-known in the long run; Fact now triggers a dirge and will. Leon Enriquez 25 March 2015 Singapore
