Mourn not untimely death; mourn not the waste
of talents unrefined, of life not spent
before Satanic illness, in its haste to kill
reviled a life…from heaven sent.
But count the moments—gems of treasured joy:
The humor, strength and love he could impart.
Each word, each smile—let not the grave destroy
A soul which lives forever in our heart.
Although we can no longer see his face.
We have not forgotten it.
Only misplaced it
For a while.
