Mama Bear Poet Rhyme

Memories of Bob

Four years have slipped by
In the blink of an eye
We know you are gone
It does seen so wrong

You were still a young man
And we did all we can
Could not keep you here
But your spirit is very near

Our memories are strong
Of one who could do no wrong
We miss you each day
Since you have gone away

Some day we will meet again
We will remember till then
God took you away
Now we wait for our day
