A Memory On St. Patrick's Day

Born on Saint Patrick's Day
At an age too young to pass away
In the summer when we were both nineteen
Our friendship went deep like a submarine
He in St. Moritz, Switzerland and I in Kowloon, Hong Kong
We wrote to each other letters as if our souls together belong
Summer ended, I returned to UCLA and he to Illinois
For some time I had not heard from this boy
When I reached out to find him his life here had been done
He was my dear friend, Patrick "Mully" Mulligan.
