The wheel of destiny I

The wheel of destiny
Moved forward today
Leaving you behind
Slowly you passed away
In the comfort of modern medicine 
If I can say
You manage to escape 
And now you are free again
Of the oxygen tank to help you breathe
The morphine injections to dull the pain
The catheter 
And the intravenous to feed and keep you hydrated
You lived simply
Having the name of a king
You fought for Liberty 
You did your duty by your country 
Reading poetry was your hobby
We had that in common
Suffering has ceased
You can now rest in peace René.
