I watched him
Today
As his words form
The way his voice echoed
Like the echoes across the valley
And I understood it all

His words today
Seeped deeper than normal
His expression was stoic though
But still the eyes gave way
Moist and glossy was the way

There was something after every pause
I noticed
But his words
Were stronger as always before
His voice declaring soo much facts
Facts about evident success
Facts about renown history
And facts about wonderful transition

As his voice rose
So did his words echoe
Sadness was evident
Beautifuly crowned in happiness
Sorrounded by tiredness
Covered by old age

He dispensed  wisdom
Wise as always
And his teachings
Always on point
But one thing never changing
His philosophy
Always standing for the right
Even when alone he would always fight
Without fear and fright

As he leaves
Now taking a rest
Flames of glowing candles
Candles set to make the world a better place
And indeed it will be a better place
Better than it was before

Thank you for your love
For your time
And support
May the sun shine brighter on your way
And your remaining journey a blissful one
Until someday again
