Gone Too Soon

- For Jay M

Like a rose cut in the early spring,
The color fades much too soon.

So much pain in your life,
Hope faded much too soon.

Didn't see what you gave me,
Your youth and strength gone too soon.

Stare at the snow that falls.
Life has gone much too soon.

Brother, I miss you much,
Went before me far too soon.

Running on my last day here,
Hope to catch you before too soon.

Tell you how much you mattered,
How much you meant before you left, all too soon.

Brother, you are gone and I grieve,
But I remember your humor, faded too soon.

Tears fall like rain over my smile,
I hope they dry before too soon.

You've suffered your Hell on Earth,
May God take you in his arms very soon.


I miss you, Silent Jay.

Jay's death reminds us that we need to help each other avoid getting to such a desperate spot.

Very beautiful tribute to Jay.
