ODE TO DR.ALFON MERAÑA
By Rudy A. Arizala
03 September 2007
"Alfon passed away", said the news
Like weight of the whole universe
Fell on me, when it reached my ears
On the other hand, I feel light
No longer burden with sadness
Remembering bright memories
Memories bring me to the past
Events when we were students
Residing in Paco District
And pursuing our careers
Now after your Hippocratic oath
And my laywer-diplomat oath.
Eternity´s door you enter
After years of healing the sick
I pray that may flights of angels
Carry thee to the Lord´s bosom
There, you rest in peace forever!
