The Chosen One

He once was among us as loving as could be always helpful to others Never letting us see See the pain behind the smile of a once handsome man A great father to his kids always taking a stand A hero he was to me in that house Always making me laugh piggy back rides a must Pulling out the tug Muscle poses in the mirror Joy and laughter even though there was fear He went through a lot you all just can't imagine and all though he had some downfalls he had so much compassion Its been a short while and although i don't understand why what happened that December night will always make me cry I lost my hero my uncle and best friend i miss him a lot the memories will never end And now all i have is the pictures to show of that familiar happy face i used to know The angels did decide to take god his son forever in the heavens He was a chosen one
