To the table I came, delighted at the sight
of friends who smiled when I arrived.
The game was begun oh so long ago!
But o'er the years some have failed to
play another hand, and for many it is ended,
now forever at peace, forever asleep,
never to play the game again.
I hardly knew some of you, while with
others I shared a story and a laugh.
No matter. You were all my friends
and I do not wish to forget your names.
Elizabeth and Nancy, I include your names
amongst these friends, but to me you were
both very special, and I will miss you each
day of my life.

If you recall someone who should be remembered here,
please let me know so I can add them to our list of friends. Roy
A Poem For my Friends
Warm summer sun, shine brightly here
Warm southern wind, blow softly here
Green earth above lie light, lie light
Dear gentle friends good night, good night
