Brother, When Will I See You Again? Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

TOGETHER WE SPENT THOSE DAYS
OF CHILDHOOD & JUBILATIONS,
TOGETHER WE ENDURED THOSE YEARS
OF CHALLENGES & TRIBULATIONS.
BUT NOW YOU HAVE GONE INSTILLING IN US
FORTITUDE AND DETERMINATION.
OUR COURAGEOUS YESTERDAYS OF LIFE
WERE INSPIRED BY YOU.
AND THOUGH WE WILL MISS YOU EVERY HOUR,
BROTHER DEAREST, YOUR AUDACITY,
YOUR FEARLESSNESS WAS YOUR PRIVILEGE,
YOUR NOBILITY AND TRUTHFULNESS
WAS GOD'S BEQUEATHAL TO YOU
WHILE ON THIS EARTH YOU LIVED.
THANK YOU BROTHER FOR THOSE
SPLENDID YEARS OF TOGETHERNESS
FILLED WITH YOUR LOVE & SUPPORT
WHICH WE WILL CHERISH UNTIL
IN HEAVEN WE MEET AGAIN
