Life With CES

LIFE WITH CES

Pain and poverty is part of life

Every day was a new journey for us

Full of adventure, full of discovery,

We kept our thoughts raised high,

For we could not manage to despair our hope

Arriving there was what we were destined for,

Not hurrying the journey at all

Keeping a standard pace not to fall,

For it is better if it lasts for years,

So we are old when we reach there,

Wealthy with all we have gained on the way

CES gave as a marvellous journey,

Without her we would not have set out

And if we find CES poor

It won’t have fooled us

Wise as we would have become

So full of experience to understand

What it really meant by CES in our lives

Hope the voyage is a long one

May there be summer morning when

With what pleasure, what joy

All along from the CES foundation

We come into a habour seen for the first time

To rejoice for what CES has done

Until we rise like eagles

To be witnesses of who you are

Showing your excellence to our country

Through projects and initiatives

Intended to change the poor Kenyan culture

A proof to support vision 2030

Many are the CES graduates

A stream of joy flows in their hearts

Little they knew about education

But now they shine like stars

Having excelled in their secondary courses

Ready to join higher institutions

Under the umbrella of CES

Witness CES Graduate Alumni Group

Led by our patron Pendo Lugalia

Together with Benson Wafula and Musli Wetende

Higher we all rise again

A symbol of love and unity

To care for a few that have lost hope

Giving out the little we have

Subject to facilitate our own projects

Meant to keep the alumni group alive

And later form a care unit for the rest

Whose future has remained to be dreams

Thanks be to the CES volunteers

Who have managed to bring us this year

Your love and passion I feel

Pain and poverty are now gone

For you have made an impact in our lives

To create hope that will never fail

On behalf of my dear collegues

Having seen furthest ends

I lack the words of expression

To show our gratitude in your presence

For your care no one has ever seen
And your love no one has ever felt
