Great stuff as always, Mike. 

As a fellow Freethinker in your circle; I was inspired to continue the story

***************************

RIP Fred:

While Fred is dead and we are here

It's time to live, with joy, not fear

Whether mountain, stream, farm or coast

Each day's a gift, so raise a toast

We're born with kindness in our heart 

Each day we choose to play our part

Our purpose drives each step we take

Our passion burns, our luck we make

The time is now for us to live

Love and peace are ours to give

We can't be sure how our days end

With dreams so rich we must defend

No time to waste, each moment's pure

We're called to serve, that much is sure

Stand tall, be proud- don't chase the fame

The pride you feel is in your name

While fortunes fall and egos tumble

We lose our way, and often stumble 

Our heart will always point true north

It's rarely wrong so bring it forth

With peace I sit right here and now

No worries bout' the when or how

God will lead me home each day

His Light and Love will lead the way

I'm grateful for this life of mine

Always remember, all is fine

************************************

Keep shining bright my friend!
