i'm sorry it took me so long to write,
after all we've been through i thought it right,
for you were my father when i needed you so,
and now that you're gone i need you to know,

i loved you roger, my father, my friend,
I hope you found happiness at the end,
from one of the people that knew your pain,
i hope in the future we'll meet again!

i wish i had known you these last few years, all my love
