[hometext] => Randy Pausch was a wonderful man. We need more like him.
[bodytext] => He is alive and at the same time gone, His substance lingers with each new dawn, He touched a world ~ That was hard to reach, His chosen profession ~ His mission to teach, He left his mark of virtue and of grace, He left his world a better place, Life was precious ~ Life he loved, Even as his name was echoed above, Lessons to prepare ~ Before he could leave, Knowing his loved ones were going to grieve, Answers to questions ~ He wouldn’t be here to give, So he left little lessons to help them to live Leaving two sons ~ A daughter ~ And a wife behind, Needing to leave their world ~ With purpose ~ Not blind, A young man he was ~ A young man he died, Leaving family ~ Friends ~ And strangers to cry, So the echoes continued ~ While he made plans, Needing to know ~ That his family could stand, During this time he tried to impart, All of the goodness that was deep in his heart, His students relayed the lectures he gave, How even in dying ~ His living was brave, Integrity enveloped this one special man, His Last Lecture ~ Was written by ~ God’s Own Hand. Randolph Frederick Pausch October 23, 1960 July 25, 2008 Note: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Pausch http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=5462447 [comments] => 0 [counter] => 1153 [topic] => 38 [informant] => tifrob [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Tributes )
