a friend from when i was 16 just died. We reconnected through classmates.com and emailed and IM'ed...then by chance I saw him 4 months ago. Should I send his wife this poem? I talk to her all the time on IM and there was nothing going on between us.

On the super highway we met again.
After years of being estranged we shared once again.
Old memories of forgotten past,
Fragments of tales,
All came rushing from the far most part of the memory.
Now we lay him to rest but not the memories of his life.
His hands so strong they could hold your heart forever,
His arms of steel that held us so tight,
His legs so long to walk that extra mile,
His smile and eyes would light up a room,
And the laugh that only he had.
All these things will live in my heart as he is laid to rest in the arms of God.
The sign we do not see that are right in front of us
We see only in hindsight
