Our Common Legacy
(In Memorium:
For Modern Singapore's
Founding Father,
Mr Lee Kuan Yew, RIP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
See that body politic
In visionary brave tact;
See that action dynamic
In lovely outcome life facts.
A man of vision lived here
With a fierce, bold loyalty;
A man of passion most dear
Who forged purpose profoundly.
Once in a hundred years we
Are lucky to witness grand;
Once in a vital way see
A soul who fleshed our good ends.
The Singapore way today
Was crafted by bold daring;
The modern city state pays
A tribute to great forging.
Our once upon a time here
Is lived through the humble man;
The life we live now endears
All races to a clear trend.
As a mark of gratitude,
We the people honour you;
For forging faith attitude:
"Thank you Mister Lee Kuan Yew."
Your days upon this good earth
Are over now -- Rest In Peace;
We mourn yet feel a warm mirth:
Your Singapore blooms kind ease.
