BOB EVANS

Oh Bob,

a fallen comrade…..

“Fallen?”

How can I say “fallen”?

Rather saved,

transitioned,

gone to the light,

moved beyond

this mortal coil.

And for you, Bob,

“How is it?”

You who loved school,

and learning,

accomplished with degrees.

Have you already signed up

for your next courses?

Is it what you expected?

Our ribbons of prayers

coil their way up to your spirit,

as you look back with pride

at all the searching

and giving

you accomplished

in your 64 years here.

May your soul

thrive forward

in this new school.

a high school friend who just "passed over".
