You cannot have a happy ending to a miserable journey.
Great stuff as always, Mike.

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!
