Tribute To My Friend

They said you passed away Only time would say Some think death caught you in your prime I know you left in your own maker's time You were a gentleman fine and clean Words never found your tomgue slippery but wise and gleam Quiet but not silent, calm but not sloppy Like still waters My friend ran deep You thought me with humility and gentleness When a Maths so silly made me restless You reassured me it was just a bump on the road And putting my best it will be just anther victory story told I plead to believe that you are and not gone Though my heart is hollowed by you absence your memoties are as good Until your leave you were my friend and brother And I'll hold you so till you I find in forever
