    It is sad to lose a friend and see the effects that passing has on the family and his friends. You have expressed some of those emotions and feelings. Well done.

    Hello Grant,

    Sometimes the writing we pen, trying hard, too hard at times turns out poorly. This however, is not like that at all. This poem has come from the heart and the feeling is meant and meant to be felt by the family and friends left behind. You are one of those friends and one gifted to be able to produce this poem. Respect to you too for reading it out. I know this is hard as I have done this too a few times, and like you I loath public speaking.

    Well done.

    Just rifling through those online and came across this lovely piece of yours Slash. Such a touching piece towards a "brother". Everyone sees bikers as rowdy and criminals, not realising they stand for honour and a brotherhood of sorts. Such a lovely tribute. :)

    Well done.

      DD thank you so much. Yes you are correct i have people accuse me of extreme violence and of being a criminal based soley on my looks and my ride.
      Apparently all large tattooed bikers are violent criminals.
      And that as a first impression .

      Regards Slash

    It's hard when we lose a beloved friend and comrade, Grant, and consequently, when they die, a part of us dies right along with them.
    This is a wonderfully written ode to your fallen brother.
    May Crazy Horse rest in peace...

    Grant, this is a truly sad write but beautifully penned and one that I'm sure crazy horse will be proud of. It's never easy losing someone so close to us.
