Pope John Paul
He is the tree
So tall, so wise
When his leaves fall,
He does not fret
He knows that they will return
They shall be stronger
They shall be more beautiful
They shall grow with him
They shall learn by him
They pass on their knowledge to the universe
He shall reproduce himself wherever needed.
In the final moments of his journey
He prayed for peace
He asked us to rejoice in his honor
He gave us love
He gave us light
He gave us strength.
He created a new forest for the young trees.
We shall prosper from his wisdom.
His human body has passed from this life station
Yet his knowledge, his wisdom and his beauty shall live on forever.
He shall sit by his Holy Master
He shall continue to teach
As we continue to learn
He is the forest for the tree
He is the beacon for the sea
He is the light
He is the hope
May he rest in peace, love and light.
