FRANTON MAOTO — A SHINING LIGHT
In Taveta land, so full of grace,
Lives a man who lifts his place.
Franton Maoto, strong and kind,
A better heart is hard to find.
He helps the people buy their land,
With honest work and caring hand.
He joins the buyer and the seller,
A true and trusted kind of helper.
He speaks for youth and helps them grow,
He teaches things they need to know.
With love and hope, he shows the way,
And helps them build a brighter day.
He works with joy and serves with pride,
With humble heart, he's on our side.
In every plan, in all he does,
He fights for what is fair and just.
He dreams of change and leads the way,
He lifts up others every day.
He shares his light and helps us all,
He answers when the people call.
He visits farms and projects too,
He works so hard to see things through.
With open hands, he gives his best,
And never stops to take a rest.
He brought JiCA to Kasokoni land,
And Chala’s canals now proudly stand.
With Tuhire’s flow, the farmers cheer,
His vision strong, his mission clear.
Kamleza's canal he helped extend,
To Kitoghotho, hand to friend.
With USAID and Stawi near,
Though Trump cut short what once was clear.
He shapes the face of Taveta Town,
Where rising buildings now look down.
Seventy-four percent — his hand is shown,
In structures Tavetans call their own.
He drew the markets bold and wide,
CBD and Newtown side by side.
A planner’s mind, a servant’s heart,
In every brick, he plays a part.
We thank you, Franton, for your role,
You have a brave and caring soul.
May all your days be filled with peace,
And all your blessings still increase.
May God above bless all you do,
And always walk in front of you.
May joy and love be by your side,
With faith and hope as your strong guide.
