Goodbye Ricky
Where has my inspiration gone
Why is the well so dry
My best friend left the earth
And now I’m wondering why
I cannot find the words to tell
Of how he’s missed so much
I could always depend on him
He was my lifes greatest crutch
Whenever I had a problem
I’d give my friend a call
Soon he would be at my door
Standing there strong and tall
The problem he would quickly sort
With his usual cups of tea
Leaving me with problem fixed
Saying that was so easy
It was for him but not for me
He mastered every task
Making all jobs look easy
Behind his smiling mask
Then the good Lord called him
He had jobs for him to do
Maybe a broken computer
Or a problem with a loo
Whatever it was my friend he went
And left us here to ponder
Thinking about the chasm he left
How he filled our lives with wonder
We won’t ever forget you Ricky
You’re in our hearts to stay
And you’ll be remembered daily
Till we all join you one day
