No spirit of adventure
In doubtful words,
But faith and hope and joy;
A proven power of love
For his country and everything else…
Of misguided and deranged;
Of head strong and justified…
Determined to do what’s best
And that was done indeed,
With dancing feet…
A solid structure to fall back on;
A commanding role,
Within a leveled voice of reasoning,
Tolerance obtained
And words of emotionless tranquility,
Showed no fear or tension
With struggles and hardships;
Accomplishments and achieved goals,
A devoted family being;
The first for a twin island;
Strength held high
Till the last breath…
