Never Gone

Many people will leave great impressions on your life Though you may be oblivious until it’s too late And when after so long you finally conceive Fate may have already taken it’s place Never before did I consider his teachings Never realized how much his words inspired me Until the day he took his life And set his longing soul free He was a minister who could be matched by no other But in life he felt he would never succeed Now he’s looking down from heaven Realizing that in fact his standards he exceeded Though he is no longer my minister here on Earth And teachings from him I’ll receive no more No longer will I take his morals for granted But use them to prepare for what life has in store
