Borrowed
I found out my old school friend who I had known since I was 5 years old suddenly passed away. He used to love to read biographies, and as I was thinking how sad it was that he never got to write his own autobiography, I realised that we are all in a way just like a living book. We've been lent to earth while waiting to be returned to the akashic library in the sky.
This one's for you Gary (R.I.P)
You were the book I borrowed
For today- Gone tomorrow
Turns my thoughts just like pages
To far earlier stages
From nursery each day
To our first Christmas play
Then the high school chapters
As the years rolled on faster
Next thing we're online
Looking back on good times
That old pic from the bus, still holds laughter from us
And memories like these
Forever I keep

We live on in other people's memories. And "Gary" now has
the added tribute shown here. Lucky man.
