We gathered on a peaceful afternoon to say "Goodbye"
To a friend soon to die
Glad, in a way, this death we expect,
While still alive, he heard words of final respect
We all shared laughter and tears
Talking about our experiences throughout the years
He looked very weak, but to us he's strong
He had a friendly word, to help us along
Long ago he recovered from drink,
With the help of his wife, a faithful link
We sang "Amazing Grace,"
Joy and grief on every face
This was a day of friendship and love
Blessed by angels from above

A fellow club member at the day program I attend is dying of pancreatic cancer, stage 4. We celebrated his life the other day at a luncheon in his honor. Thanks to VMarguarite from Fan Art Review.
