Sad to hear my old friend James passed late 2024. Hadn’t spoke in a while but always recall our talk of football, Striker and wrestling days. Poems for you mate. See you on the other one
A comic that we grew up with
Became a beacon that we shared
Passed on each generation
Back then when we all cared
A hollow empty soul
Yet was full of hope and love
Times when we would laugh
And now you’re up above
We used to get knocked down
As the song would say
Each time that we got up again
We lived another day
Through time we lost connection
Two souls drifting through life
I wished we had one final laugh
Talk about the pain and the strife
Now you have departed
Joining family in the sky
No longer alone in your daily life
The childhood dream runs high
For with every squared circle
That we watched through all the years
Ring that final bell James my friend
For there are finally no more tears
