JASON D. B. SURBEY 1969 - 1995 When our hectic lives pause Together, quietly we sit Counting waves on the shore Remembering! Thinking "what if?" A stranger approaches We strike up a conversation Introducing ourselves To my happy surprise He knows our name In fact, he knows you! Which makes me smile You and he were in Cubs together Oh! so long ago Not knowing you are gone We laugh with stories Of excited children at play He departs, leaving me Sadly counting waves on the shore Luv ya ta bits Wishing you were here Your family
