I Need To Shout Out To Jelly Roll

I need to shout out to Jelly Roll.
For sharing this beautifully written song.
Touches so deeply inside us.
Emotions we all feel so strong.
So many way's to process.
Reminisceing what was lost.
Sometimes we learn the hard way.
Which usually comes with highest costs.
We often take for granted.
These moments til they've passed.
Then we wish to have them back.
But we all know better than that.
I listen to the melody.
Which comes as a positive relief.
Not always do we want to cry.
With sadness from our grief.
We all have felt this pain.
Despair of being with out.
Losing our way or finding ourselves.
Sometimes needing to reroute.
If we make it to our destination.
Indeed to find the smoking section.
Then you know your missions complete.
You took the right direction.
I don't know much about cleaning swamps.
Fighting alligators is not my forte.
But if I could inspire just one person,
who can relate to this the same way.
I would roll one up for everybody.
Rather in Heaven or still here.
I believe they miss us just as much.
They are up there smokin and drinkin beer.
