For Roy...

A good friend of ours was suddenly taken away yesterday... he was only 36... died of cardiac arrest while playing basketball. One minute he was with us, the next he is forever gone. I made a simple poem for him...


For Roy...

I didn't know him that well
but i knew him enough
enough to have made a mark
a dent in our lives

He always had an easy smile
his crazy antics made us laugh
his eyes spoke a thousand words
that left us all rolling with laughter...

Now, with your sudden passing
came the painful realization
of how fleeting life can be
with just a blink of an eye
you were taken, just as you were given

we may be mourning now
but you are met with rejoice
by the angels awaiting
your homecoming...

Goodbye Roy and thanks for the memories...
