A Grand Man

I always thought you were like Pan Ageless,would never die But Deaths kiss came so swiftly You left us high and dry. No last farewell No parting words No comfort or compassion Death reared his head And covered you In a cold and heartless fashion. The hands of time turn so slowly But our minds spin out of control Replaying over and over again The departure of your soul But the tears we cry will not resurrect you Back to this cruel, hard place All we have are our thoughts of you And the memory of your face. (for my Cousin Ronnie Meese, tragically killed 07/27/11,aged 58)
