My Royal Highland Lad-
I could not understand it before,
And I still cannot see why.
I wish someone could explain to me
Why you have to die.
Life passed by so quickly,
So fast I never knew.
But I would give up all I have
To have another minute with you.
You were there when I was sad;
You were there when I was hurt.
And for all the love you've given me
More than gold I think you're worth.
You never won an award,
But your antics filled me with delight.
For within your soul and eyes
Lived an ever-present light.
I fear what time will do to me;
I know my memories will fade.
I just hope to remember
The good ones that we made.
And though I know you have to die
I'll still love you while I can.
And just hope you will always know
You're a part of who I am.
Rest in peace, my friend. I love you. 4/13/92-5/21/00
