Dearest Most Holy Father …
You walked the talk,
Mercy in your chalk,
Respecting Your diverse flock,
Revered as our compassionate Rock.
💖✝💖✝
Dearest Most Holy Father …
Taking the road less travelled,
Many were baffled,
Others were gravelled,
Yet You pursued unravelled.
💖✝💖✝
Dearest Most Holy Father …
You paved Your own path,
Choosing Your simple rath,
Wit and wisdom Your footpath,
Providing that humane lath.
💖✝💖✝
Dearest Most Holy Father …
Your space filled with grace,
Things that mattered You ace,
Inoculating the prejudicial race,
Being synodal as You interface.
💖✝💖✝
Dearest Most Holy Father …
Reminding us of the global imperative,
Honouring Creation the narrative,
Reiterating the symbiotic restorative,
Urging a spiritual and conscious curative.
💖✝💖✝
Dearest Most Holy Father …
Your impacting simplicity,
Your profound humility,
Your earnest civility,
Your noble legacy a formidability.
💖✝💖✝
Dearest Most Holy Father …
Thank you for Your forbearance,
Your magnanimous spirit of deference,
Serving with integrity and reverence,
Blessing our lives with Your Holy presence.

Goodbye Dearest Papa Francesco …
Your earthly mission now complete,
Your Celestial Family awaiting to meet,
Your Heavenly Abode a befitting seat,
Bidding You farewell we lovingly tweet.
