A poem for a colleague and those who miss him, for now...
Ride on
brother, ride on
You’ve
had a tough climb
You can
now fill your lungs
Lift your
head and ride on.
From the
start you set the pace
Showed us
what needed done
Encouraged
those less able
And
inspired all those around
You
always cheered on others
Now your brothers
and sisters
Of all
generations and nations
Applaud
your run for home
The
victor's crown awaits you
We feebly
struggle in your wake
But you
never sought the glory
You just
did what needed done
So now
you’ve crested the hill
We’ve
lost sight of you for now
But your
example spurs us on
And we’ll
see you at the finish
So ride
on brother, ride on
You’ve
had a tough climb
You can
now fill your lungs
Lift your
head and ride on.
Shalom
