Go gently father of one,
son of many.
Know peace,
as you have shown to others,
as you have taught the world.
Do not forget your children,
for they have not learned enough,
and they forget lessons easily.
Do not fear being forgotten,
for you are in a pantheon
removed from the faults
of memory.
The world knows you,
the earth knows you,
the wind and water
will speak your name
from now until
we no longer
need the message
it conveys.
The sun
and the moon
re-enact your greatest
moments,
at dawn
and dusk,
for eternity,
because you reflected
the natural,
so in respect,
it will always reflect you.
