Ode To John Harvey-

Ode to John Harvey

"my uncle
for you are a man I care for deeply
a man, a steadfast companion

you are my uncle
you are my soul, my hand
you are the sun

I shall always cherish, my uncle
My uncle
But where would I be without you forgotten
You are the my uncle a man John Harvey

In the future you are the one
I shalt forever always adore my uncle like a father to me
In a rainstorm my covering you hold my spirit soul in your hands
You who truly, truly understand, you’re such a quiet strong man
When I am in life’s boat in the storm alone
You are the one, a port in a storm
In space and time you are my moon
You never forsaken me always closer than soon
my uncle
for you are a man I care for deeply
a man, a steadfast companion

you are my uncle
you are my soul, my hand
you are the sun

I shall always cherish, my uncle
My uncle
But where would I be without you forgotten
You are the my uncle a man John Harvey"
