Smiling Down

Last night a life was taken away "God you really should've let him stay We know that you want him up there with you But we need him as much as you do" He filled our hearts with joy He was just a young boy With him our days were filled with laughter And lots of happy ever afters We know he's not coming back Oh What I'd give to hear"Let me hit that Black" John is someone we'll never forget Atleast we know he had no regrets As we have to lay him to rest We'll have to ace a test A very hurtful pain Like tight gripping chains We'll have to pull together Then soon it'll all get better No one can ever take his place Just look up and see his smiling face R.I.P.
