Editor,
A Farewell to a Special King
You were born in 1918 a little Tongan you were
Hugely noble the son of Tungi Mailefihi
A charismatic person charming indeed
Your days in the sporting arena we all could see
So as you grew older the nobler you were
The Leader, the teacher, the Preacher...
..
We realized the King you became 44 years of your reign
And so my beloved Majesty as you pass into history and away
I can never forget your laughter and smiling face
Just like your late mother Salote III almost Everyday
With a big heart of gold with visions to match
The Kingdom of Tonga her present and future
Was all you could catch...
...
You taught us Education, music and sports
You opened a modern Tonga in Foreign relations abroad
You became the world...s Peaceful Maker loving at heart
You taught us respect and deepest Love for Almighty God
I shall never forget your musical hymns
Every Sunday I remember your smiling grin
We Miss you deeply already my King
Sioasi Taufa'ahau Tupou the fourth
The late King so much
As a Tongan I...m so proud with tears of sadness
And memories of joy and gladness
May we celebrate your life the young people of today
All I can remember is You
The King you were...
..1918 - 2006
Love
Andrew Fifita
Grandson Tevita Mafi Tupou
