We bid farewell to you, holy soul,
A shepherd with a heart so whole.
With humble steps and open hands,
You walked with love through many lands.
A man of humble heart and grace,
You led the Church through time and space.
A voice for peace, so calm and wise,
God’s shepherd under open skies.
You spoke of mercy, peace, and grace,
With a gentle smile upon your face.
You called for justice, stood for right,
A beacon shining through the night.
You cared for poor, embraced the weak,
With wisdom pure, so calm, so meek.
Your voice was soft, your faith was strong,
You led with kindness all along.
You served humanity with steady care
Found hope and healing in your prayer.
Now heaven’s gate swings open wide,
As angels walk you to God’s side.
Though you have left this world we know,
Your spirit stays, it still will glow.
And in our hearts, your light will stay..
A guide, a star, a holy ray.
We bid farewell to you ; not goodbye,
As you reach eternal peace on high.
To a world with God, so bright, so fair,
Where love and joy are everywhere.
We seek your presence, your intercession,
You know our hearts, our deep confession.
Your love for all will never cease,
A legacy of hope and peace.
The tides of your love shall ever flow,
Like endless waves that come and go.
And spread like the aroma of Gardenia flowers..
A lasting grace that shall resume.
