For eighteen days, several years ago
Mountains, snow, temples and streets
You were my guide
For the beauty of Nepal
Crowded markets, salesmen and soldiers
Villages, rivers, forests and cliffs
I was entranced by your country
The vibrant culture, so alien to my own
We wished each other farewell,
we will meet again one day friend
I left, returning to my first world life
You moved to Spain, found love, found happiness
Thought life had other plans, and cancer struck you down
Never again will your smile charm a tourist
I didn't say farewell
But we will meet again one day
Of that I'm sure
for my friend Saroj, thank you for the amazing experience in Nepal
Rest in peace
