Stephen Hawking Died Today

Stephen Hawking died today
The greatest mind of our time
Physically restrained by his disability
His mind explored the universe
He wanted to know 
How we came to be

He explored the universe
I hope now he will find
The answers he wanted
So walk or run
Do those things you want
Finally - there are no earthly bonds

It goes to show
A life well led
Means there are no constraints
Even when the odds are
Against you
You can triumph.
