Troy Toney Poet Rhyme

The Legend Uncle Aaron

It's crazy to think
That just nine years ago
The world it had lost
A funny stubborn soul

For most people who knew him 
Like him they couldn't help
Though always sarcastic
We all knew he meant well

He was so very unique
I couldn't describe it exactly
He did what he wanted
But still loved his family

He struggled in life
But he was not close to a zero
Proof cause im writing this now
My uncle was a hero
 
My life almost ended
Way back when i was three
I drowned in the pool
Uncle Aaron saved me

I am so very thankful
Cause of him I breathe air
The fact he is gone
I feel is not really fair

Though as much as we miss him
We're grateful to have known him
We remember the good times
And treasure those moments

His memory is a legend
I feel that's safe to say
Had his own sense of humor
That he perfected each day

The crazy stories he'd tell
When we were all kids
Made then up told them well
Yes we believed it

Something that he taught me
I don't think he meant to teach
Was that you can find humor
In just about anything

I always admired that man
I aspired to also be funny
I learned as hard as it gets
Laughter does something

Our family was all there
Even though we were worried
We sat waiting and laughed
As we told his stories

All the good one's and bad one's
While awaiting the verdict
So sad when he passed
But to know him was worth it

To this day I remember 
The way that you sound
The way you made people laugh
Whenever you were around

Every year I honor The Legend
Yes the great Aaron Toney
There was no one else like him
Yes he was the only
