Death, be not proud
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

I just want to express my sypmathy for the passing of a great man. Steve, I remember lots of happy moments that you were part of. You were always with our beloved Croatia, supporting our team on the field from the sideline, happy when they win and sad when they loose. Today we lost you, and I feel we lost part of Croatia. May you rest in peace my friend and one day we'll be cheering together for our Croatia from up above.
