Fellow Pilgrim
"The traveller has reached the end of the journey!”
Edmund Burke
Farewell fellow traveler
We’ll see you on the flip-side
May tailwinds guide you safely
As you cross the great divide
A real pleasure knowing you
Times together a joy ride
You know we’ll miss you dearly
In our hearts you shall reside
Know that fugitives we’re not
We are not running away
Neither are we refugees
Searching for a place to stay
Pilgrims we are; travelers
Hoping to reach home some day
A risky perilous road
May we never lose our way
Sadly you have to go first
Pray that we don’t go astray
To the valley of plenty
In forever and a day
Fare thee well fellow pilgrim
We’ll see you after a while
Safe travels on your way home
The fabled emerald isle
May zephyrs be at your back
May you arrive in grand style
In your hearts be contentment
In your face a radiant smile!

This poem is dedicated to my fraternity brothers who recently departed. They will be missed and we're hoping to meet with them on the flip-side.
