Will Parker died on April 22nd 2004. He was a senior at Tabor Academy. We will all miss him dearly. John Robichau wrote this in his memory:
FOR THE REST
In our lives, here, we are what we do.
We do alot, we become alot, more more more,
we do as much as we can, here.
What can we do?
We stay busy
we think, we write, we talk, we work, we run, we fight, we play,
we dodge the sad (when it can be dodged), we try and find the happy,
our life is happy if we make it so
if we make happiness.
make happiness
if we are known for making happiness, our death is sad
death is sad
why.
because with us, our happiness dies? NO
that cant be the way
When we make happiness, we make it for the rest
Not for us, but for the rest
once that is done, our happiness resides in the rest
it is beyond us, past our reach, passed from us to be gazed at as the rest enjoy
beautifully enjoy the happiness we have made.
when we die, what we have made, what we have done is all that is left
our history of happiness is our true remains
So once one who gives happiness goes,
leaves and can no longer give the light,
consider the light of their legacy, the happiness they gave so freely
let that light lift you away from grief, let that gift be immortal
