A Celebration of Life: Hon. Fredrick Mwanzia Daudi

Delivered on 8th March 2014 @ Kyumvi, Machakos County

Of all the men in the whole wide world,
Whose praises are sung out loud,
There is no man whom I respect more,
Or of whom I am more proud.

Throughout the years, you worked so hard
To provide us a happy life;
You have been there to help and give advice,
And you did it all without strife.

Not many can have a father
who’s half as great as you were.
Others might try, but they fall shy
you were a top-notch daddy, I probably should have said that you more often!

For the few times that I did, I saw a shy smile on your face.
I will repeat again these words here today for the world to know that you

Hon. Mwanzia……….were a great daddy.

I admire you sincerely and love you dearly,
And those feelings continue to grow with every passing day.

Ever since my life began, I realized that "You da man!"
I saw your wisdom, your courage too,
And I learned I could rely on you.

Your tolerant nature was really great;
Nevertheless, you'd not hesitate
To let me know when I'd been bad;
It must have been hard, but that's being a dad.

You're strong and smart and filled with love--
A gift to me from up above,
So here's a tribute from your biggest fan:
Sleep well, Dad, 'cause "You da man!"

Lord, my father gave his all for me,
I pray You'll hear my extra special plea:
Keep him safe so he can still be near;
Lord, my father is so very dear.
Role model, an extraordinary man,
He's my dad and I'm his biggest fan.
Dad, I'm praying to the Lord for you
That He will give you all the good you're due.

*****AMEN****
