Farewell to Jae Do
In this grey sweltering morning,
We bid you a final farewell.
Our bowed heads, greyer than yesterday,
Seek to relive forgotten memories.
Of you, in our fleeting youth.
Young as we were
Filled with love and passion
Sprinkled with purest gaiety
Bravadoes with abandon
Oh, those were the days we conspired.
Toils of life long past,
Unhinged with the last breath
You left us into the mythical world.
Leaving the tangled web of life behind
With smile, in peace. Our Jae Do.
July, 2006
