Its a year today since my friend, Jacob Davies left us. He was always great to be around and the memories and funny things we did I'll always remember. He's one of those people you don't forget. Jacob had cystic fibrosis and so time was always ticking. If there's one thing I've learnt from Jacob, it was his ability to smile and live his life no matter what might happen. I only saw him breakdown once. And even then he got back up and kept on smiling.
Life is short. You don't know when you're going die. So don't waste the time you've been given and make the most of it. That doesn't mean I'm advocating a licence to do stupid things, life's pretty short and there's no need to make it shorter.
I knew a guy. His name was Jacob Davies. He was brilliant.
Heres to you Jacob (Y)
Not There
I see the Sharks,
Or just a jersey,
The words, "Cronulla",
But you're not there,
I see a rose,
Like the one always on my blazer,
Red,
So red,
So very very red,
But you're not there,
My tears felt red that day,
At the service,
In streams they flew
Because I knew,
That you're not there,
We were friends - not best friends,
But a friend indeed,
The memories now only I recall,
For you and I were in them,
But now you're gone,
I see your name,
And I stop.
And I think.
I'd like to speak to you,
But you're just not there,
