He poled his panga through the shallows with a wisdom and a grace
He knew the flats and rivers like he knew his mother’s face
He was a shepherd with a million fish to tend
	
And Raul was my friend

He rose early every morning, when the house was quiet and still
To make the hour’s drive from Orange Walk to Ladyville
To wash the boat and find some flies to recommend
And Raul was my friend

People come and go
Some you get to know
And some leave a mark on your very soul

We spent hours on the water, we’d conspire and confide 
And he taught me Maya legends and how to read the fish the tide
And I never dreamed those times were going to end
Yes Raul was my friend

Some would say the man had far too short an earthly run
But those who loved him knew there wasn’t much he’d left undone
Except to see his children’s adult lives begin
And Raul was my friend

He poled his panga through the shallows with a wisdom and a grace
He knew the flats and rivers like he knew his mother’s face
He was a shepherd with a million fish to tend
And Raul was my friend
