Passing On

Another old friend has passed on,
May he rest whereever he's gone.
Once you're a year above eighty
thoughts of life's transience are weighty.
but here were good times to think upon.

Old friends, I'll see you anon.

Hello Julian! People die everyday far younger than you. I do comprehend your feelings, however. We see the end of the road. In reality, every human being only has this 24 hours. Live for this day. Enjoy,be grateful. Panagiota USA
