Ruby (My Friend)

Rube you said it well.

On your wisdom I will dwell.

Every life is a story with beginning and end.

I was lucky to have you as a friend.

I think of my family, small but very close.

Of Judy, Steve and Jadwiga.

How lucky I have been.

Perhaps it’s ordained, a superior being watching over us.

No one with certainly knows.

My atheism fades the older I get.

Less sure of my younger beliefs.

Soon I will sleep, a deep sleep.

I’ve had a good life, with a wonderful wife.

A lucky man I have been.

Nothing lasts forever, it’s nature’s way.

Have a wonderful day, my friend.

Find peace, happiness until the end.

Good luck,

Morrie
