Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...

over things passed away,
to see in old friends
the best and the true,
is to live in the end
just how God meant you to.
