Leave With Grace Poem by Randy McClave

To all of my friends I will say goodbye
But I hope my end will not be until years from now
So let us joke and laugh and let us not cry
I will be here for you my friends that I do vow.

Let's celebrate life while I am living
While I am still happy and virile and very fit
I want to hear songs and jokes with no grieving
And you my friends I will never forget.

So I say to you each one and all
With this smile projecting from my face
Let us not get angry and let us not brawl
Let's meet like a storm and leave with grace.
