Another absence, another loss Another departure from our small circle,
So much smaller now with his passing
Another taste of this bitter fruit A painful silence where once there was a voice,
Our chorus thinning with time
Memories, moments from the last few seasons Old friends rediscovered, many new friends found
What greater loss is there? What emptiness more profound?
But what a gift to have read his words, To have heard his voice, to have touched his hand,
That warm handshake which will remain, forever
