I will always remember "Billy". He was my prom date and we've talked on the phone a couple of years ago. Would love to have seen him at least once more, but unfortunately, I live in Texas. RIP Billy
When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d
BY WALT WHITMAN
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom’d,
And the great star early droop’d in the western sky in the night,
I mourn’d, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,
Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
And thought of him I love.
