Good-Bye John John - Dedicated To My Friend John F Kennedy Jr - Written 1999
We'll miss you but hope to join you someday in eternity
Passing too soon like uncle Bobby and father John
You stood strong in the face of your family's tragedies
I remember a little soldier saluting our fallen leader so dear
Then our Prince of Camelot inspiring many with hope
Now I'm sharing your family's pain but glad you were here
Stunned by your loss as your bravery helps me cope
When you were just a toddler I myself was just a child
Seeing you play under your daddy's desk bringing innocence to the White
House
Your mother raised you well blessing you with manners so mild
I cried when your father died now comforted you are with him forever and
your spouse
My dad personally knew your dad as President and friend and in this fact I am
proud
This boy of the sixties feels forever tied to your family
You'll always be special to me personally not just another face in the crowd
Look forward to seeing you again someday John Jr. in our Lord's home so
heavenly.
Note: It is the 15th anniversary of my friend John's death in a tragic plane crash, I am missing you so much John - John.
Love, Robert
