"The journey is the reward."
- Steve Jobs
Shall I remember Peabody today?
From childhood to the day I moved away.
Our friendship was like that of two brothers.
It’s hard to see your body forever lay,
But God will take you and show you the way
To heaven where unite many others.
Dreams of Peabody come while I sleep,
Sometimes they're good and other times seem bad.
I know there's life to live without you.
Thoughts of you make my emotions run deep,
My last words before I feel more than sad,
Farewell Peabody, Farewell, I will miss you.
Peabody, I wish you were still here ... alive.
Although your gone my fond memories ... thrive.
