Tribute to a friend

Post by popcornjack »

A friend of mine passed away last week, and I just wanted to share a little something I wrote in memory of him.

Take me for what I am, a star newly emerging.
I accept the new found man, and I set the twilight reeling.

Sorry for your loss.

I lost an old friend last year.
I find myself from time to time thinking of all the funny things he did and said.

So if you think about the good times, your friend can still make you smile.

Awesome job Jack, and sail on Adrian!

He sounds like an awesome guy who embraced the attitude all of us wish to have. I must admit, I did steal "not concerned with where he was working but content with how he was living" for facebook. I long to live like that!
