Life is but short,
Where here not for long,
We live but a moment,
And then we are gone.
We know times are tough,
But life does go on,
To live for the future,
We all must be strong.
For now one has left us,
A memory remains,
And now we reflect,
We all share his pains.
We’ll miss you dear friend,
And buddy to some,
Without you around us,
Our hearts will be numb.
Written for a close friend who tragically took his own life on 4th June 1993
