You needn't have lived 
123 years
Another 26 
would have been a gift. 
How could you have known
after a game of cricket
That death would lie in wait
on the way home? 
Instead of ringing in 2025
They buried you deep
On this last day of '24
Where the breezes thicken. 
Never ride parallel
Your bikes may collide. 
Later, it's no use weeping
When a life could have been saved.
