My Last Hug, My Last Kiss: Tribute To Darryl Baskins

I saw him on that last Sunday I gave him a hug and a kiss I told him he works to hard and on Sunday's of him I did miss he told me today was his birthday I told him that was wrong for not giving the church congregation a chance to sing him a birthday song as we're standing near the pulpit I turned to the remaining crowd I said, "today is Darryl's birthday " in a voice clear and loud so we gathered together and we all started to sing the birthday song to let Darryl know to us what he means we said we love you and we wish you all the best as a fellow child of God we know that you are blessed I was unaware that that would be the very last time that I would see my dear friend Darryl Baskins alive but I'm glad I got that chance to give him my last hug and my last kiss because he was my dear friend and of him I will truly miss
