Lament

LAMENT FOR MICHAEL PRICE

Dear Booza,

With love and heartfelt sorrow,

We say farewell to you.

You were of noble character,

A gentleman, through and through.

Rayleen and your family,

Ronny, Spooky and the guys,

Linda and all your friends,

Hold you dear, and grieve at your demise.

I remember such fun on the dance floor,

How you loved to dance,

Square dance, barn dance, rock and rock.

We bopped at any chance.

Wild car rides, as teenagers,

we thought we ruled the world.

We moved through space at a rapid pace,

Always laughing as we unfurled.

Most of all, I remember your laugh.

It rings in my head even now.

Your smiling face is there, too.

So, glad I am to have known you.

May you rest in peace.

At journey’s end,

Radiance may you find.

We love you still, always will,

We who are left behind.
