On the morning of July 3rd, I sat down at the computer to write this poem that I had been thinking about the night before...little did I know the impact this poem would have.tick...tock...
tick...tock...
time slips away...
one more night? one more day?
memories present themselves,
a slideshow in my head...
enjoying them for one last time,
before the day I'm dead.
tick...tock...
days disappear...
a month is gone, and now a year.
how many more will I have left?
there is no time to waste...
completing all those "should have's"
with quickness and in haste.
tick...tock...
no time left, I have no fear...
I see the end, the end is near.
a fleeting sigh, a lingered breath..
how many more until my death?
tick...tock...tick...tock...tick.....................
That evening we found out that our dear neighbor of almost 20 years, Art Reimer, had passed away suddenly. Little to say we were all in shock. Art was a guy full of life and adventure, always ready with a joke or a smile. We've all been saddened by his loss. We'll miss you, Art, but we'll never forget.
