Tribute to an Old Hero

During a fire, he’d be the last one out, helping those weak from smoke get out to safety.

During a flood, he’d be in the water, battling the waves to pull others to high ground.

During a tornado, he’d be the last one inside, making sure no one was left in the open.

During a blizzard, he’d use his body to cover others, keeping them warm.

During a bombing, he’d be the first on the scene, digging out survivors from the rubble.

During a war, he’d carry the wounded back to safety, ignoring his own bleeding wounds.

During a hold up, he’d offer himself to his captors to be hostage if they let the others go.

During a raid, he’d fight the attackers, throwing himself between them and the innocent.

During a long journey, he’d be in the back, making sure no one falls behind.

During a time of mourning, he’d be there, offering a shoulder to cry on.

During a time of hopelessness, he’d hold strong, giving wisdom and confidence to others.

During a time when the young are in danger, he will sacrifice his own life...to save others.

“It’s the younger generation that matters most. My time is drawing to a close, but you have a whole life ahead of you....”

He is Kivuli Cha Maji- Shadow of the Water

“Until the day I die, I will fight for you.”
