"Be Defined By Other Than What You Have," Advised Kamau!

Ngai was putting together,
the immobile Mount Kenya,
it took so many things,
somewhere on the slopes,
whose expanse extends far and wide,
undulating into the Aberdares and beyond,
was one place where your ancestors,
made their home,
the day you were born,
there was a name waiting for you,
that name was Kamau,

the day you were born,

a human being full of dignity,
love and joy was made,
that human being was Kamau,

you were the part,
destined to be mobile,
you grew so fast and left a trailblazer,
all over the world,
you were beloved,
grand in stature,
magnanimous to kith,
kin and strangers alike,
you stretched far, wide and high,
Kamau Emmanuel Mukere, Auntie Ivy,

one hot Summer in Washington DC,
I was a new immigrant to USA,

to whom you reached out,
you were in Dallas Texas,
via the waves,
we had a long talk,
a long-winded talk indeed,
I recall so many things you said,
'be defined by other than what you have,'
is one of them,
you liberated many of us,
artifacts, endowments,integuments and limb,
may make one,
but there is more substance,
that defined one.

I have read of the news of your passing.
