Father of the people
Soul of a nation
Legend for the world

Remains alive
In the hearts and minds
Of people whose lives

Continues to live
In those who honour
His model of vision

Will last for perpetuity
As an inspiration and hope
For what he brought to this world
And for what he left behind
For everyone
