Oh, divine beings of the afterlife, please hear my words.
A warrior makes his way to you, please make him welcome. He acted for peace more than for war.
A bard makes his way to you, please set a chair next to the fire for him, for he has a lifetime of stories to tell.
A scholar makes his way to you, please grant him access to your library, for he never ceased seeking for answers.
A teacher makes his way to you, please provide him with a classroom, for death itself cannot stop his desire to instruct.
A herald makes his way to you, please employ him as you see fit, for while he had the ability to curse, he spoke only praise of others.
An inspiration makes his way to you, please give him such honors the equal to each tear that has been shed by his passing.
Oh, divine beings of the afterlife, please hear my words.
Written 5/17/2024 on the passing of Count Sir Jehan de la Marche.
