Now that you are gone, I see what's been done,

The many lives you have touched and those hearts that you won,

With a genuine hello and a smile for every one, 

You always lifted spirits when they felt like life was being undone.

The bear hugs, never ending chats and always the big meal,

It looks like our hearts would be impossible to heal,

Every day we hear a story that is telling of the void that will never fill,

But I know that your life is one that will always remain in memories still.

We say goodbye to a brother, a friend and a son,

But I promise you we’ll never forget your life of fun,

Whether its a swig of Single-malt Scotch or a Bhangra song or just a wander,

We’ll look up to the sky and feel your presence with us, our big Panda.
