On the Passing of a Friend

A little sad today - Just found out a very old and close friend of mine died yesterday. He survived the battle of Ban Me Thuot only to be beaten by cancer.

Tom and I made a pact. Whichever one of us died first, the other would publish our favorite poem. So here it is Tom. You’ve finally gone over the hill…save me a spot.

Over The Hill

Here I am alone going over the hill
The wind is calm and the waters still

I’ve worked really hard and given my all
But I feel a peace as I heed the call

The light is getting brighter and my heart almost still
As I go a little bit farther over the hill
