Poem. Actions Speak Louder Than Words

From humble roots, a leader rose,

Tuilaepa Sailele, a name well-known,

Through countless projects, Samoa knows,

The seeds of progress he has sown.

With HRPP, a guiding hand,     

Across this cherished island land,

He has shaped the nation, year by year,

Dispelling doubt and calming fear.

 

A scholar’s mind, with wisdom deep,

Certifies his efforts to share and keep.

A wealth of knowledge he acquired,

A testament to goals desired.

The longest reign the Pacific has seen,

Through changing tides, both sharp and keen.

A steady hand upon the helm,

He steered the course of his realm.

 

Yet in his power, grace resides,

In helping hands, his purpose hides.

A humble spirit, plain and true,

For those in need, he sees them through.

A man of faith, his guiding star,

His defeat last time was just a scar.

With honesty his constant guide,

His principles he can’t really hide.

 

A vision clear, a future planned,

With a dedicated, helping hand.

For Samoa’s growth, a careful art,

He played his crucial, vital part.

And for the truth, his voice will rise,

Beneath Samoa’s watchful skies.

A steadfast stance, he will maintain,

His fight for justice will remain.

 

So let his legacy endure,

Whose tireless efforts still allure.

A builder’s heart, a leader’s might,

A beacon shining ever bright.

Tuilaepa’s name, with honor told,

A story of a leader so courageous and bold.

A chapter etched in history’s page,

Who served Samoa on life’s stage!

 

So let our gratitude take flight,

For leading with such care and light.

A heartfelt thanks, sincere and deep,

For the many promises you helped keep.

Your work endures, a lasting gain,

May peace and joy now ease the strain.

A foundation built with strength and pride,

For all the years you stood beside.

 

Faafetai tele lava, Hon. Tuilaepa Lupesoli’ai Neioti Aiono Sailele Malielegaoi,

With Samoa’s cry, you did not avoid.

For all you’ve given, and all you’ve done,

Including the negativity, you’ve listened to none.

May future chapters bring you rest,

Because you have truly blessed our island best.

Knowing the seeds you sowed with care,

Thank you for presenting Samoa out there
