An Ode To Rick
A LIFE WAS LOST TOO SOON
WHY HE THOUGHT LIFE WASN'T WORTH IT
I DON'T KNOW IT COULD HAVE BEEN MANY THINGS
BUT NOW SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO SUFFER
NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY
THE PAIN OF LOSING
YOUR FIRST BORN SON OR
YOUR ONLY BROTHER
THERE IS AN EMPTY VOID
IN THEIR HEARTS
THAT CAN NEVER BE FILLED
THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO
IS REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES
THAT YOU USED TO SHARE
AND ALL THE SILLY THINGS HE DID
I DIDN'T KNOW HIM VERY WELL
BUT HIS SISTER HAS TOLD ME
SOME PRETTY FUNNY STORIES
LET'S CARRY HIS SPIRIT ON IN OUR HEARTS
AND LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST FOR HIM
HE IS NOW IN A BETTER PLACE
WATCHING OVER US
AND SOMEDAY WE WILL MEET WITH HIM AGAIN
GOOD-BYE AND REST IN PEACE, RICK
