In remembrance of a friend newly lost.





"In the dark immensity of night
 I stood upon a hill and watched the light
 Of a star,
 Soundless and beautiful and far.

A scientist standing there with me
Said, “It is not the star you see,
But a glow
That left the star light years ago.”

People are like stars in a timeless sky;
The light of a good person’s life shines high,
Golden and splendid
Long after his brief earth years are ended."
