For my friend, Lean

There's nothing that can compensate

For the random fickleness of fate


We live and breathe without concerning

How it is our lives keep turning


Until one day the turning ends

and suddenly we've lost our friends


So many years of joy and pleasure

No longer there to love and treasure


But fate behaves the same for all

And all must answer that final call


The saving grace is that we had those days

To enjoy that love in so many ways
