Today the sky was swarming blue
Seven days since God summoned you
Angels high herald Him nearing
The crowd saw you disappearing

Nigh you are earthly no longer
Love one’s silence sorrow hither
Procession procession unfolds
More more hollow hearts ever whole

Take with you our smiles and laughter
Your love stays now and ever after
Your compassion’s a gift un-end
This moment I farewell you friend.

ttt (February 13, 2018)

Hôm nay bầu trời xanh màu buồn thiu
Vang rầm tiếng kèn của các thiên thần
Đã bảy ngày Chúa gọi tên anh
Đám đông họ đứng nhìn anh biến mất

Anh không còn ở dưới đất
Vợ và các con ba má họ xếp hàng
Đứng nhìn tiễn anh đi
Lòng họ chơi vơi rỗng tệt đuổi theo anh

Anh đi mang cả những nụ cười
Còn lại chỉ là tình yêu
Lòng bao dung của anh
Chào anh nhé, bạn tôi.
