POEM

        HOLY FATHER : A TRIBUTE

' Holy Father ' , called many

Indeed Holy Father , true of virtues

Came from quary to catch men for peter

Breaking the stones, carrying the stones

Heard the cry of the people, indeed

Heard God crying in them for souls.

" Amen", said he, follwed Him.

Compassionate, ever forgiving, love to all;

Heaven bloomed in his smile

Angels came down in his words

The world bends head in humility,honour

As trees bending the branches with fruits

World listened, welcomed as flower to the sun

Cloud to the nornhill, rain to the parched hill .

" o Youth" said he " I love you all " .

Yes true ! Pope of the youth; oh not

The saint of the youth.

No religion , but love , his religion

No principles, but only Eucharistiya.

Blessed of the blesseds, blessed ;

The Shepherd of the shepherd , guided.
He lives and will live forever,
The shepherd of peace.
