when friends depart

Fare thee well

We lost a good friend
send him this rose
Heaven knows
which way he goes
life's ways are unique
we also will soon follow
heaven!
if not, no one knows
and
we only our love
can only bestow

I am still here...at least part of me.:} am writing when I can, but I am losing...it will be soon, but I stay alive until...

How terribly sad I feel ..how terrified for what is ahead.

may Christ be always with you, my friend

Be not afraid of the inevitable morn
as you did not know
what happened when you were born
the same will happen
to all of us that one morn

stay alive
jive and play your master strokes
masterpieces have yet you to evoke

and
for that there is still time
the midnight bells are far yet to chime

let Joe your poetry rhyme
for ALL TIMES
ere tis time

Friends will always be friends no matter where they are.
Some have to take journeys away from us and sometimes into places where there is no return ticket as we know them here, but keep faith with yourself and know that their impression on us and all they met will be an eternity of waves in that great universe.
Yours Ian..

Friends never really leave. Even after they leave this plane they still live on in our memories.......stan BTW , in last 2 line you might consider dropping one of the "only"s........stan
