Rare Earth

once wrote a tribute, 'In Memory of Rupert Brooke.'

'His body lies that was so fair and young.
His mouth is stopped with half his songs unsung.'

But I do not feel that way about Rad. If you pause, the echo of his laughter will float back to you. If you listen intently in the night you may even hear his voice, just as countless times in the silence of the night I heard my mother's

lullabies."
