David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

A Friend In Passing

A Friend in passing
David J Walker

When I heard of his death
All I could think about 
Was my last breath

In a coming day
As I cross the river 
What would I say
	
As I Part the veil 
And leave behind 
	A body frail

As I process his passing
a quietly forlorn 
a thought in grasping 

	Is it for him
Or for me 
	That I mourn
