A song of appreciation

            For Robert L. Funseth

****

Some men have such humane hearts

Their love shines radiant like a halo

Their light pierces through the dark prison cells

Which mankind is all too disposed to forget.

These are men who extend their kind-hearted hands

To soothe the pain that bleeds all those years

Pain suffered by freedom fighters struggling

At the very bottom of abysmal cells.

You have been sowing seeds of charity

That will blossom of forth into majestic branches laden with fruits of love

Whose fragrance will spread throughout the world

Beckoning everyone to gather and revel in the joyous Spring to come.

Hush, listen to the approaching joyful cries

Of large processions coming back from Hell

Listen also to the welcoming sounds of cheers and exuberance

Thanking profoundly and dearly

The sowers of the seeds of humanity.

These are the jubilant voices rejoicing for all to hear

The victory of Freedom, Democracy and Human Rights!
