Czech mate
Life is like foil wrapped chocs
you never know what's in the box
But why not treat it like a game of Chess?
Intrigue, Strategy, Plans and Plots.
Your life choices did impress
way back when you were 21
.............. but I must not digress;
Such maturity for one so young
You showed generosity and kindness
a bond created with your energising spirit
meals and laughter shared without fuss
A caring soul earning trust on merit.
You gave me far more
than money will ever equate.
Despite what's gone before
for the record I'll happily state;
You have become a friend
a pal, a chum, my buddy, my mate
You've worked hard to the end
and done a good job; First rate!
Studying hard for your degree
and now it's completed ….
the time has come for you to depart
the world awaits you!
......... and my world is depleted
the poorer for you leaving here.
I knew it couldn't last but, my life
has been enriched beyond measure.
Charming company and enthusiasm;
These regular visits always a pleasure,
sadly I knew it could not be forever
and now this day has finally come.
You've ran your race, now it's all done.
Onward and upward to challenges new
not forgetting to have some fun.
Remember what I said when I met you?
"Study, Work, Sleep, eat healthy and hearty
try to spend less than you earn
and always make sure you Party!"
I don't think I will ever forget;
My Czech mate.

dearest David forgive my tardiness this fills me with a deep sense of sadness
I hate when people go away if I'm reading this right this is a very painful time in your life...
I couldn't bear to lose my husband this way but I fear we too have become just chums...
all my love and hugs...
Brenda ❤
