Poem
Koorosh the Great, Friend All of my heart One tear Or one Monsoon No amount, no grandeur Can express the sorrow Oh yes, I am sad, I am saddened I am in sorrow I am swimming in the darkness I am missing something That can not be said in words Koorosh the great was a prophecy For only now have we seen The truth of greatness Not by Victory, but by kindness We are blessed to have seen How simple life can be Love your life Your family Your friends Bring everyone laughter Create, envision and dream Everyone who knows you feels special Your father taught you well Kindness that transcended generations In the end A humble man No god could make him bitter He was as he always was and more A kind man Only when you remove a tree from the garden Do you realize The tree was the garden The flowers bloomed for the tree The people sought shade and comfort Quietly, I weep For him For his family For life If all great leaders followed his path What a beautiful world we would have He inspired He smiled Corey, you are missed Notes: Dedicated to my friend Corey Fazel who just recently passed away before his time. Corey, you will be missed by many many people. It is you with your friendly pertinence that got me to swim, and that alone has changed my life, I will remember the many evenings and dinners we talked about all things under the sun. MSA is Multiple System Atrophy, a terrible and debilitating disease that attacks the nervous system. It has many of the symptoms of Parkinson, however from onset one has very few years of life left.
