Just For You

See true legacy when death takes you away: Each person sadly pays respect today. Each feels gratitude for your kind caring: A sure attitude Singaporeans string. See the crowds and queues that come to thank you: Tears long overdue tell of Lee Kuan Yew. Each face in mourning since your sad demise: Each man addressing sad shock and surprise. See what you have wrought from emigrant tribes: All ages share thoughts as outbursts describe. Each man feels something for our dead hero: One last word to string as heartaches feel flow. See the grateful hearts sigh outspoken grief: Your leaving jerks parts that treasures achieve. A Singapore tribe will live your spirit: Your fond words described a people discrete. See for one last time how a nation mourns: An outstanding rhyme your great life has sown. Each side by side sees a future right here: Let Singapore be excellence endeared. See and Rest In Peace for all will be well: We will never cease to fashion prized spells. Leon Enriquez 27 March 2015 Singapore
