Suddenly time seems to rush

I don’t know what to believe yet I have to

I pitch myself upon accomplishment of his aspirations

It dawns on me thinking of this great creature and his wonders

It is good to be important and more important it is to be good. 

Oh the nation builder

Firm towards transformation of the green space

I salute you silently in my heart

The author of united struggles as the name depicts

Revolving eye of justice and parenting

Best arrow of liberation of minds

The hater of human abuse

The Omuhweju (Rwanyitera) that braved climate change venom

Who can stand by your challenges?

The exhibitor of human and plant breeder of exotic level

Enterprising entrepreneur and boredom killer

The architect of good governance

The charismatic information hub of near and far

The transformer of viable projects

Who can stand by these challenges?

The perfect springboard for farmers and extension

The professional ideal political consultant

The moral and ethical fabric of our motherland

The consumer of peace and good harmony

The saver of space and time with clear messages

We celebrate your existence.

By Doreen Birigwa, daughter to Professor Emeritus Patrick Rubaihayo
