Poem Commentary

written for my grand father who just turned 90...written from the depth of my heart with adoration and gratitude

'90'

90 a milestone not many have been blessed to see
An age not many can boast to have reached
A time/Years  graced with maturity, wisdom  and valour
Moses Nsundabangwe Holonga you are one of a kind.
 
We have been blessed
To have been given even a moment in your presence
You carry yourself in a way that leaves people in ‘awe’
Leaves them wishing for more
More time spent with you
Time to learn, to listen, to observe
 
You are a teacher, a lover, a loved one, a husband, a father
 An uncle, a cousin, a friend, a brother, a grandfather, a great grandfather
You share of yourself selflessly
You inspire without trying
You blossom even through adversity
 
You effortlessly put a smile on those around you
People get excited at the mention of your name
We say ‘I am Rev. Holonga’s child/grandchild’
And people respond with glee
Your name is heard wide/all over for the greatness you have, done you have achieved.
 
I am blessed to have you in my life
We are blessed to know you
 
Rev. Moses Nsundabangwe Holonga
You are one of a kind
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY
