Tribute to Late Grand Chief Sir Michael Thomas Somare
Poem
Alois Chapusu Ndrewou
Shout aloud in unity!
In every home in PNG
Recalling days of history
Michael Somare - that’s the name!
In you the nation rose from base
Creating paths to set the pace
Halting doubts, upholding faith
Anchored in the light of grace
Erasing darkness in the pane
Like a dad you paved the way
Taught us love and unity
Helping those with earnest needs
Observing how we treat the trees
Manning well our healthy seas
And treasures in our land beneath
So we can smile for centuries
Sir, now you left us fit to reign
Once we find the way to sway
May we take the time to say
All our dreams did have a frame
Recalling tales of works you made
Endless love for all you laid.
