SAYONARA MI HERMANO
melvin Banggollay
M-y best friend died the other day
for reasons still for me a mystery
though some said its a suicide's play
but circumstances proved the other way.
A jolly and caring friend he was to me
as he always shared his hand unselfishly
specially when troubles hounted me
emotionally, spiritualy and financially.
R-est in peace dear friend of mine;
Your life so short yet full of golden line
for you shared what you got at all times
to love your family to keep them fine.
L-ord, I pray, take him to your kingdom;
Share upon him forgiveness of his sins
that he may behold with all joy and freedom
your angels to comfort the pains he had seen.
O-ver and over, he suffered frustrations
for having a love fooling with other's passion
and this may had triggered him to end
the breath of his life upon earth's length.
N-othing I can do now but to weep and pray for you
and ask the Lord's mercy to bestow unto you
forgiveness of your sins for salvations to blow
on your tomb to lift you up to the Lord's meadow.
Dedicated to a friend and former officemate
who died on March 26,2010 at the age of 37.
