Eagles soar while birds fly,
Above your peers, sir,
You have imprinted footprints in the sand of time.

No matter one’s party or creed,
It is indisputable that you were an enigma,
For in the political reeds,
You were not an ordinary man!

Your devotees will miss your virtues,
Patience in the midst of tension ,
Benevolence that surpasses human pursuits ,
They will also miss your one-on-one sessions .

Yours was a story of the benefit of perseverance,
The essentials of congeniality,
The essence of true amity,
The love of state and church ,
The power of forgiveness ,
The light of magnanimity ,
All these make them call you “Mr. Fix it “,
Adieu, the great Chief ,until resurrection morning ,we will see!
