Despedida
Friend I am not
Looking forward
To say despedida
From you
Yes I always get sad
When I  have to say
Despedida to my friend
Friend I must say
That I hate also
To say despedida to
You
I know that you are
A lot older than me
And also you lived
A long life here on
Earth
Now you no longer
Can walk anymore
Or reconize me
Anymore
Because you
Have some dementia
Also, it is very sad
That you are ending up
That way
I never wished you would
End up with dementia
I had been in your life
For a long time
And also we had been
God friends for a lifetime
Friend now my father
Had shut your
Body down
And now is time for you
To die
Friend, I must say
That I will miss having you
Around here on earth
Also the angel my father
Had sent down from heaven
To take you to heaven
There in heaven you
Will live a second life
That my father made for you
I also know that
You are not going to suffer anymore
The way you had suffered with
You dementia
My friend, I will be praying for you
Every single day
