A nation in grief,
For a beloved son
A patriot
A nation honor,
Honor a man
A family man,
A father
I witnessed a nation grieving,
A loss of a victor
A dedicated soul
A friend of all
I witnessed love,
For a dedicated one
For a visionary man,
A man of destiny
A man of missions
Able man
And capable for much-more than many
I witness a torch,
The brother lit
A torch that must be carried
To further the legacies he anchored
I witness a nation,
Express gratitude with sorrow,
To a man
That broke grounds in virgin land
In a nation hungry for everything
A nation with needs
A nation with limited means
But, a nation with a dreams and direction
I witnessed,
The delivery on that dream
With zest, brilliance, wit, stealth…
The highest achievements many can’t dream
Let alone achieve.
I witnessed,
One Eritrean man,
Become a symbol,
A symbol of Eritrean honor
Ensuring The Eritrean pride
I witnessed,
In passing,
One man
More than all his achievements in life
Glorify
Eritrean martyrs
And the reasons they passed
I witnessed,
The martyrs assured
Their passing was not in vain.
By a man who gave value,
To the lives and its qualities
By achieving a step
A step that ensured the honor
The honor of Eritrean life
I witnessed,
A minister,
Pass away…….
Untimely passing
Leaving legacies everywhere and with all
But what I witnessed that touched more,
Eritrean life honored by the world
In the way that it should
In contrast to the martyrs that passed
In contrast,
To those who received no attention
By the world!
May you be honored by the Almighty….
May The Almighty bless his family
In honor of His Excellency, Minister Saleh Meki
