He was a great leader and an excellent teacher
He was a talented visionary and an ardent preacher
He was a real optimist and a sincere friend
He won many hearts with his radiant smile’s blend
He was honest, trustworthy and had a beautiful mind
His spirit was filled with wit and knowledge of all kind
There was always a note of optimism in his unique voice
And every time he spoke his heart and soul rejoice
He always worked hard and with his zealous passion
He conquered the world of challenges and compassion
Today we don’t mourn his death but we celebrate his life
And all hope and happiness that exist and survive
And we promise to remember his precious life’s rhyme
And follow his deep footprints on the sand of time
May Gracious and merciful God show him his love today
And may his soul rest in peace, for him I always pray
“Great men are like eagles and build their nest on some lofty solitude”
Arthur Schopenhaun
With love and best regards written for my Father in Law, may his soul rest in peace
