Rip

I heard the news and I thought they lied You’ve gone from this world and you have died It seems like yesterday that I last saw your face Now you’ve left and I still see your life’s trace Memories of your love is what I feel and see I’ll miss you forever and out of respect I say R.I.P The voice of your soul is what I’ll recall How you fought for your beliefs and stood tall How you were close to the friends that you made Faced your fears even though you were afraid Memories of your love is what I feel and see I’ll miss you forever and out of respect I say R.I.P I admire you for always keeping your family in your eyes Giving thanks to God toward heaven in the skies If dark clouds surrounded you how you would look for the sun In every situation you were always looking to have fun Memories of your love is what I feel and see I’ll miss you forever and out of respect I say R.I.P You had a kind word for everyone right from the start You left a lasting imprint on everyone’s heart. You were something special and lived until your very dying day You gave everything you were and that is rare in the time of today
