I recall you taking the mantle of leadership in all solemnity
I watched with pride as you stood tall in dignified humility
The nation beaming with profound delight in her full regality
Glorified and applauded at an evident hitch-free transition once again!
The pride of a nation is a wise and intelligent leader
The pride of a people is the brilliance exhibited by her elected
The shouts of joy amongst the populace is boundless
When a nation is minded by a vibrant and growth-oriented leader!
A listening leader is a source of strength at all times
One ever willing to be of service to all despite diversity
Maturity makes a leader, sincerity gets things done earnestly
Remember my President that united we stand to win at all times!
While there in the solace of the Rocky Villa, dear Sir
I wish to lend you a word or two, so listen carefully
I entreat you consult with the Master Divine always
I pray you’d carry your people alongside you, dear Sir!
It may seem a tedious task, to bear the burden of a complex nation
It may seem to the eyes a huge venture to embark on
It may even seem scary; I bet it does, doesn’t it?
But, permit me to say that you are equal to the task!
In God I entrust my President.
