The last time I saw Richard

Today I start this blog with a commemorative post as a tribute to my late great friend Richard Martin. It is exactly a year ago today that I last saw him before he sadly passed away in September of 2010. Richard was simply the best friend ever.

THE LAST TIME I SAW RICHARD

The last time I saw Richard

I wore a yellow top and green skirt

The last time I saw Richard

I wore a green skirt and yellow top

And yellow earrings.

And he saw blue

The glass behind was blue

And he said

'Oh, I like that!'

And my glass was red

Filled with red

And I said

'Oh, I like that!'

But his eyes were grey

And fading

As he was tired

And ailing

Then I was hugged

But not by him

He stood aside

with his wide grin

And then we walked

And talked again

Of whom we knew

And things to do

And that was the last time

I saw you.
