Henry Joyner, III

Aug. 26, 1964 - Mar. 16, 2016


Not Forever on Earth Per chance do we truly live on earth? Not forever on earth, But briefly here! Be it jade, it too will be broken Be it gold, it too will be melted, And even the plume of the quetzal decays, Not forever on earth, But briefly here!
