We Bid Farewell

We bid you farewell,Oh Dear! Farewell Sweet Memory Through faith We face reality. Our God Himself descended To his word We adhere He held you a bit closer and wiped away each tear. He raised you to his land with a loving hand, We'll miss you Dear Uncle We'll miss you Dear friend. Until We meet again In our hearts you will stand. A hat covering white hair Your beard never hid a smile Your jokes,your low voice, Past stories told, the tick-tock sound of each clock, Shared moments,Hours to behold. Always remembered Fondly in our thoughts An Old Pal,A humble man with a heart of gold. Until We Meet Again In the Land Of No Tears Dear Uncle Aldo, We Bid You Farewell.

I see you had not posted in a long while, so this sad occurrence brought forth a lovely tribute from you. Sorry for your loss, charma. Also I see even this most recent poem was written back in 21. Sure hope you post up more like I see you doing on FB.

Farewell, to your dear Uncle. It's good that we know death is not the end and one day we will be reunited with our loved ones. But, for now we can only cry at the loss, and smile at the memories.

Thanks so much James..This was a year of tears on earth and joy in heaven.In this last month I lost 2 next door neighbours from different households,a friend'smother,& a relative.It shows me how futile this life is.I wish you and yours a Blessed Christmas and a better New Year.
