I cry because it looks like my friend, you was in such pain,

 

I smile my friend because I believe that we will see each other once again.

 

Although your body broke your soul remained the same,

 

I see pictures of your family engaged with you in games,

 

Harsh lessons for your children to the complexity of life's frames,

 

Lost dad but,

 

Strength, courage, resistance all things they now have gained. 

 

Surely are the days and world that slowly pass us by,

 

Another good friends soul has departed for the sky,

 

To meet their lost loved ones and look them in the eye,

 

As they tell tales of the life they left and all the times they had to survive,

 

Your legend lives on in the children you had to leave behind,

 

Nothing left to say I guess now other than goodbye. 

 

Goodbye Chris. X
