Gazing At the Brighter Side
Before leaving for the firework show…
I found out that you died
All my friends said, “Come on, let’s go”
I step aside and cried
They asked me what was wrong with me
I told them of your fate
Envisioning your compelling plea...
I just had to keep the date
I know how much you loved this day
Especially the firework show
You always brought a flag to sway
And a festive horn to blow
I watched the show aside the charming moon
Thoughts of you filled the time
Your passing was far from opportune
You were in your prime
I gazed at the elaborate showing
The best I’ve ever seen
I expected to see far less glowing
Since city funds are lean
Then, I remembered, my dear friend
Where you are today
You must have got up there in time
WOW, what an array!
*****Dedicated to one of the best men I have even known,
Richard Dispenza (Sept. 16, 1952-July 4, 2011), my true pal forever.
RIP Coach D.*******
