Goodbye, My Friend. I suppose there always comes a time When each of us must go And when the time draws near, my friend It's best that we don't know. You left behind a legacy Of laughter and of smiles Of whistles heard 'round the halls And your own unique style From backwoods ways on sunny days And grins from ear to ear You touched us all, in no way small You drew us all so near. You spent your days in crazy ways That made us laugh out loud And as your friend, but near the end You know, it makes me proud. Today, I searched my inbox For the "Hello", I thought to find But when I heard the news, my friend I nearly lost my mind. For God, He has His own plans And decided that today You'd leave your home and all alone Take your last trip, just one way. The tears, they fell like silent rain From the people that you knew The skies took on a look of pain O'er top the summer's blue So I guess this is goodbye, my friend Though to you I can not tell The wish from all of us today That God should keep you well. We'll miss you Bryce. This was written for a friend who tragically lost his life this morning in a motor vehicle accident, on the way in to work. He leaves behind his wife, his two boys and countless family members and friends. We all shall miss him dearly. Bryce was 29. |

Trew, I am sure your friend would be proud of this touching tribute you have written. It is always sad to lose someone so young and full of life. Deepest sympathy on the loss of a dear friend. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Thank you all for your kind words, your sympathy and your prayers, they mean so much. It's at times like these that you learn to appreciate the good things in life a little more. Not the least of which are the good people here at Passions. You guys make each day a little brighter. Thank you again, Trevor. |
