The sound of your voice as you spoke on the phone
The bundle of papers under your arm
The ever half-filled coffee cup in front of you
The concentrated look on your face as you studied some paper
With your glasses perched on your head
They were all a part of you.
The light step, the twinkling eyes
The charming smile as you spoke to someone
The laughter in your voice as you shared a joke at a party
Your actions as you read the story from tarvafelagi_
Of the cow Stjørnueyga being led to the bull
They were all a part of you.
The single voice raised in protest at some injustice
The endless time spent discussing issues of importance
The courage and determination you showed
The keen interest in your work
The dedication to Føroya Handilsskúli
They were all a part of you.
But what I most cherish about you Klæmint
Is the love and loyalty you showed your friends
The unquestioning faith you had in them
The ready listening ear, the comforting hand on the shoulder
The willingness to listen to another?s distress and the care you gave
The principled way in which you treated people
The gentleman you were to those who least deserved it
That is what I most cherish about you.
You enriched my life with yours
For that I thank you
The image we friends carry of you in our hearts is here to stay
Our dear Klæmint, farewell
Rest in peace in God?s sweet embrace.
Kalpana
