I saw his face
I looked in his eyes
And discovered a truth
Before me, previously unseen.
He smiled
And said hello
I reciprocated
And he took under his charge
As he prepared to fly
To the summit of success.
This was a man truly unique,
Like a protective older brother
Shielding all from worldly tempests
To preserve the past
And witness a future
Unfolding......
The sun rises
Today is another chance
To put things right
That once were wrong.
He saw the good
In everything and everyone
Possessing the soul of an angel
He was the best
The best anyone could ever be......
You're always in my thoughts
I loved you so much
And will always love you
For as long as I draw breath, and even beyond.
You were so brave
A true soldier of life,
Crushing all adversity
Generous and caring.
We're all richer
For having you in our lives.
I'll miss you more
Than I could ever say
You were so strong
That strength exploded out of you
A true inspiration to us all
Thank you, for now and for always
I love you, my friend.
