Kuku Vivi Kandongo Poem by Seth Yuhi Musinga

Vivi Kandongo, your life was full of loving deeds,
forever thoughtful of our special needs.
Today and tomorrow, our whole lifes through,
we will always love and cherish you.

Kuku, we'll always remember that special smile,
hat caring heart, that warm, embrace, you always gave us.
You being there for all of us through good and bad times, no matter what.
We'll always remember you, Kuku,
because there will never be another one to replace you in our hearts…
and the love we will always have for you.

There was magic in Kuku's touch, and sunshine in your smile.
There was love in everything you did to make our lives worthwhile.
We found both hope and courage just by looking in your eyes.
Your laughter was a source of joy, your words warm and wise.
There was a kindness and compassion found in your embrace,

Please don't mourn she is still here, though you don't see her.
She is right by your side each night and day
And within your heart she long to stay.
Her body is gone but she is always near,
Her spirit is free, but she will never depart
As long as you keep her alive in your heart.
She will never wander out of your sight,

She is the brightest star on a summer night.
She will never be beyond your reach,
She is the colorful leaves when autumn's around,
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
She is the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.

When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
You can talk to Kuku through the Lord above you.
She will whisper her answer through the leaves on the trees,
And you'll feel her presence in the soft summer breeze.
She is the hot salty tears that flow when you weep,
And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
She is the smile you see on a baby's face.
And shining down from Heaven above
we sees the glow of Kuku's face.
