The Funeral

His body laid peacefully in that box,
As a minute of silence was observed.
His grand-daughter who gave him her last words,
Brought tears to many who heard.

The armed force saluted with respect
To say their last goodbyes,
As the coffin was carried past his wife
Who sat there, tears in her eyes.

The nation watched on with great respect
To a leader of great devotion.
Some cried, some speechless, some whispered a little prayer
For the People’s President.
