To you dear absent friend,
Whose laugh I won't hear again.
Except in memory of happier times,
When we would share your wit.

Through bad times and good,
you were always there.
Accepting each new day,
With your own brand of humor.

No one saw the warning signs,
Of your sudden choice in life.
You were loved,
I promise.

I'm sorry I couldn't be there,
When on new years eve you took your life.
Could have helped you in your strife,
Your life will be missed.


In memory of Neall Campbell who, I just found out, took his life on new years eve.
