Raila Odinga, a leader of the sun's glow,
Seventy-nine years, a legacy to show.
From the banks of Lake Victoria's embrace,
In the land's rhythm, a resilient grace.

Decades marked by the nation's strife,
In the story of Kenya, a political life.
From detentions' grasp to presidential dreams,
In Raila's journey, resilience gleams.

Through the ballots' dance and the people's voice,
In the nation's essence, a statesman's choice.
A tapestry woven with political might,
In Raila's legacy, a beacon of light.

A luminary in history's grandeur,
In Kenya's tale, Raila's fervor.
A legacy written in ballots and sand,
In the heartbeat of the nation, a leader's stand.

So here's to Raila, on this special day,
In the echo of history, where memories stay.
In the tapestry of time, bold and grand,
Raila's spirit, a statesman's timeless stand.
