-His Life Never Forgotten

His confidence was unbreakable
He knew exactly who he was
No concerns about judgement
That being “just because”

He travelled globally
Throughout his lifespan
His assurance never dwindled 
He was always his own man

He was likeable and friendly
Popular with the majority
At times somewhat arrogant
With an air of superiority 

His love for me never faltered
Throughout his many years
Loyal and comforting 
Through good times and tears

It was painful to see him grow old
Become senile
Slowly disappear 
His body still on this earth
His soul no longer here

He was my confidant
My companion everyday
His life never forgotten
For in my heart his spirit stays
