Lest We Forget
Please allow me a moment of reflection.
The words that follow were penned by a good man, a top man, my best man. Sadly he is no longer with us, taken too soon like many others. There but for the grace of God go I and the countless many that were lucky to have had a narrow escape (or two) along the way thanks to Martin Baker.
Until we soar again:

He’s gone, that friend of mine,
His smile, his face, his joy of living.
Never more to sit on my wing,
To soar the heights totally free.
He’s gone, his life spent
In one brilliant, beautiful, burst of light.
No pain, no thoughts, just darkness.
His life glorious to the end.
His cheeky arrogance still rings in our ears,
His voice is still in our conversation.
We talk, we relive, he has not gone.
He listens now and smiles.
We will not let him go,
He lives on in our hearts and in our souls,
And we wait patiently for the day,
The day when once more we can soar together, totally free.
