As your well lived journey in this world
Nears its inevitable final chapters
I wish for you pure enveloping kindness
Not a network of abusing raptors
I wish for you support and love
Folks to ease your every pain
A calm to infuse your precious soul
A mind remaining sane
I hope that resolution comes
For conflicts new and old
Ancient silly feuds dissolved
So petty if truth be told
I have no idea what might come next
No crystal balls have we
All I can do is wish for you
Sweet eternal reverie
