Adios! Poem by Ella Goodman

You lived so well! Always in good spirits,
Heart they say of gold was your made,
I say more, more precious than all elements.
Your smile, your face, your radiance lit up the world.

A Titan, yes you were, to me You are!
A void so deep that you now leave,
Fills the world.Its not just grief but an eternal void,
To ever linger now; that you rest in your holy sleep.

Your legacy so stellar to shine beyond ages,
Your name etched in the realm of times,
Your vision so bright to burn like the brightest star,
Illuminating a billion lives.

What tribute do I pay to the true Gem,
The Man so beloved to all.
You celebrated life through your work,
To better the lives of your fellow brethren.

Fortunate for sure we were all,
That you lived in our midst,
A soul so pure, mind full of light,
A bacon of Grace, Goodwill so upright!

No I shall not shed a tear now that you lay to rest,
For you are not gone. You live in the hearts and ever will,
Like the sun you burned to light up the world,
And now you live in white light to guide with greater glow.

No goodbye! For you were born not to leave but ever to live!
Through your work, dedication and power to transform the lives.
And now that you take a while to savour all that you did,
I would just say "Sweet Slumber shower you with peace"!
