We Remember
(Dedication: Memorial to LKY)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Death comes in time to each man,
Dear memory transcends span."
Glimpse of familiar face
Gone to eternity,
Fond memory we trace
Frames immortality.
This much we all know:
We thank you gratefully
Though we did not know
You personally.
Our hearts feel sadness still
Where secret tears still flow,
Our loss finds deep reveal
No one can ever know.
Thus we do remember
How we got to now and here,
Our people now ponder
How to live purpose most dear.
So here we now forge anew
A bold Singapore story;
Fondly we remember you:
Etched our living legacy.
