A Month Later

Two more friends have gone away
for a little over a month now
Dick Jesser and Bill Rodd
Life is like a game of tennis
at Lake Willoughby
Have a healthy day
in Saint J
I shall always remember you
as long as I'm still living
as long as I'm still thinking
writing a poetry like tonight
in the northeast kingdom of Vermont
We've gone through so many roads
come from far away towns
we don't even recall the names
These melodies echoing across the sky
The endless icy rain and the flimsy day
Wish you could be here
I can't wait to see you again, my freiends
