How do you bid adieu
To your warrior and friend
To the one who taught you
Everything that matters
How do you?
How do you bid adieu
To the one who rescued you
To the one who set you straight
Without ever raising his voice
How do you?
How do you bid adieu
To the one you thought
Would never leave
To the one you aspire to be
How do you?
How do you bid adieu
To the one who led before
You knew how to be led
To the one you look up to
How do you?
How do you bid adieu
To the one who taught you to
Laugh at your follies
To the one who never spoke ill
How do you?
How do you bid adieu
To the one who drew cartoons
On your back while you slept
To the happiest of adventurers
How do you?
You do not say adieu
You say until we meet again
You say be with us in spirit
You say we love you always
Now as our journey is interrupted
With gratitude and adoration
We say to our warrior traveler
Please choose us again
With endless love to our beloved husband, father, uncle, and grandfather, Dr. Dilip Sen - November 21, 1925-November 3, 2018
