Farewell to

Fr. Freddy DSouza
St. Mary's Church Dubai
 
 Dearest Fr. Freddy,
 
Saying goodbye to a close friend is an emotional display
Mind is full of memories but still find it hard what to say
 
When we needed any guidance to be right
You were always there for us, there’s no doubt
 
With an optimistic attitude,   you’ve been a true educator
That encouraged each of us to be an achiever

As a simple and committed priest you’ve earned respect
In  every situation and action , your dedication  did reflect
 
You set a significant example in every way
With which you gained admiration everyday
 
Always in our hearts we will hold true
You’ve been there for us in every way through
 
Now  that it’s God’s  plan for you to move on to Bahrain
Wish you His blessings and success in your further mission
 
As now we all have to wave goodbyes with  tears in our eyes
We want you to reiterate, forever you will be in our prayers
 
And console ourselves that goodbye need not be forever
We shall meet or hear of you soon to feel again we are together

Finally, with immense gratitude and ardent love
This little poem to say a special thank you!
THANK YOU DEAREST FR. FREDDY  AND WE MISS YOU
 
All the best to you in Bahrain
 
With Lots of Love and Warm Regards  :
