Vale
Sir Albert Kipalan
Wantok
Hero
Trail blazer

Albert Kipalan was my friend
He and Leoas opened our eyes
to the potential of Enga and us Engans

In 1978 when Ipatas was a teenager on the make
and Don Kapi and Leoas Kipalan became our provincial
leaders, Albert was thinking and acting with a wider vision, taking in all of our country as his purview.

Sometimes he would cross the Wara Lai
and sit with us at Sari
and then we knew how truly big was his mind
his outlook
his vision
he saw more than we did
he had bigger eyes
and a bigger heart

He took Enga to Waigani
and made us proud
now he's in heaven
with our God

We will miss Sir Albert
He was unique
uniquely Engan

VALE
