Whenever I see the trees so tall
Or feel the snowflake's fluries fall
And hear the bird's lonesome calls
Your shadowed face I then recall
¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.
Your smile which hovers in my mind
Which always bring sad tears that blind
My weary eyes which cannot find
Your tender smiles and eyes so kind
¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.
You had to go away from me one day
Although I cried and knelt to pray
I could not hold you back to stay
From going down that dark one way
¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.¨*:ˇ.
He's resting in God's eternal peace
A loving friend so true, so brave
Whose last words were "talk to you
Another day."

Alas! my dear friend Bill is gone
To see that everlasting dawn
Fishing for his favorite prawns
Maybe mowing heaven's lawn

He was my friend for six
years. A very kind guy. Bill
was a real encouragement to me
during my long rehab. from my
stroke.He lived in Hamilton,
Onatrio, CA. He lost his fight
with lung cancer on Easter Sunday,'04.
Farewell, "Kneehigh"! R.I.P. my friend!
