Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's laws wrong it earned 2 walk without having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams it learned 2 breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared!
- Tupac Shakur
Ever the dreamer, Seth will be greatly missed by all.
