It is not an easy matter to lose a very good friend.
But the older you get, the more develops a trend.
People who were close are bound to leave this Earth,
gone are the days when togetherness was so much worth.
the news of another friend's leaving are received with dread,
especially when you thought his time had not come yet.
Not close in miles, I looked forward to his appearance-
to get together for lunch, the meeting never needed clearance.
A handsome tall man, he embraced me on his very arrival
and, nearing my one-hundred, he marveled at my survival.
Never did I see him "down", always he was full of good thought,
thus his leaving us so early brings any reunion to naught.
It is a good memory that we spent pleasant times together,
were able to often enjoy California's beauty in fine weather.
He shall be remembered with pleasure, he was a great man:
to have known him was a joy- I was a privileged fan!
