PC forgive me, I have tried to see the good. but I just can't do it this week. all is gone
Forgive me, if I sound mad and disturbed
Forgive me, if I am off put and seem perturbed
Forgive me, if I seem lost and hollow
I am mad and sad this day
I got some bad news.
A valiant battle has come to a end.
Tomorrow I go to say goodbye
to Stuart, a brother, a mentor
a philosopher and a friend
He was a man of Integrity
He was Helpful
He was Vigilant
he trained me in my duties
he was a man I saw seldom
He was a man, I looked up to.
Stuart your gone, before your time
Stuart I barely knew you, but I remember you.
thank you for the philosophic chats we had
no man knows when his time has come
today I was floored, hit by a ton of bricks.
reading the paper and finding out like this.
I come to attention I lift my hand in salute.
lower the flag, a good man had died.
tomorrow I go to see him laid to rest
a strong willed, & good hearted man
who always gave, his best.
Never again will I hear you philosophize over a cup off coffee
I just want you all to know, this man.
I have much respect for him.
He lived outside the box and off the beaten track
He took risks, He had strength, morals, wisdom and grace.
Stuart I hardly knew you.
I'll be damned, before I ever forget you.
Rest In Peace
Written for Stuart Manning a fellow work mate.
