Dedicated to a great friend Who passed away a few weeks ago Isadoro "Izzy" Flores
I was not there I did not hear Whispers in the wind Carrying his goodbyes I was not there When he left Without a farewell Through no fault of his own, 500 miles Separated our space I am left with tears At the corner of my eyes And a prayer in my heart I was not there to hear His final goodbyes I was not there To hold his hand As he slip Into the Paradise Awaiting his presences At the right hand of God I was not there.

I can feel the desolation so powerfully in this, William, but I'm sure the bond of which your words give such ample testimony will have been evident in Izzy's heart and mind even at the time of his passing and he will have known your spirit to be with him - even as it is now. May you be blessed with a deep peace subsequent to this painful feeling of wretchedness and a renewed soul-knowledge that all is well between you. I'm so sorry for this grievous loss. xx

Some things are not meant to be which is little solace now. You have honored his life and yourself. Patrick

Sorry to hear of your loss. This is a nice tribute and though you were not physically there, you were with him in thought. Often, that's just as important. He left this world knowing that he would remain in your thoughts for all the years you have left. Great friends always know. In that sense, you were there. Dick
