Les Aspin Cheers- by Hellen Limo
We together; eat, dance, despair,
Learn, sleep travel, endure
Nothing was remembered, nothing forgotten
Here I speak a converted poetess
Les Aspin cheers!
Now wondering two things
First why we met
Anti-corruption put us together
Les Aspin?
Les Aspin cheers!
Second cultivating moral courage
Little did I know?
Physical courage is stale
Moral courage now my core value
Les Aspin cheers!
It is little I care what path I take
And where it leads it’s little I care
But out of Les Aspin House, I care our friendship
It was fun to know all you
Les Aspin cheers!
The part of you that made me laugh
Through all the memories I have
The things that made us mad
The pain that made us cry
Les Aspin cheers
From where I started to where I am today
The journey has been long and tiring
From nothing to something I am today
It’s not been easy journey
Les Aspin cheers!
Under safe hands throughout the journey
In the hands of a gifted teacher
Les Aspin House a magical place
Notwithstanding the cigar smoke
Les Aspin cheers!
There is a smile in each face
In the hands of a gifted teacher
Creative energy is everywhere
Desire and wonder is awakened all through
Les Aspin cheers!
Anti-corruption skills modeled
In the hands of a gifted teacher
The best of reality is bottled
All these in Nairobi, D.C. and Milwaukee
Les Aspin cheers!
Gifts and talents are refined
In the hands of a gifted teacher
The willed future is designed
Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania here we come
Les Aspin cheers!
