Charmaine Chircop Poet Free verse

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.
