To the Family That I Left Behind.

My family I know you miss me 
But I am alright.

Since I will always be their 
And be by your side. 

To my little daughter Regan 
Words cannot say. 

How much I miss you
But I will be home some day. 

I know you miss me 
But please do not cry. 

The lord says we will be together 
And I know he is right.

Crystal I miss you 
And my love will be the same. 

I am in heaven 
Where we will be a family again one day. 

Mom and Dad I miss you 
 Please do not worry. 

I am in heaven, 
Which is filled with nothing but glory.

Thank you for being there 
With me in the night. 


For the times I laughed 
And even the times I cried.

I am glad you are my parents 
And I am glad that will never change. 

I can’t wait to see you 
So you can see how I have changed.

But I will always be the baby boy
  That you will remember till this day.

My brother and sister I thank 
For showing me the way. 


Thanks to you I grew up a great man
 That will be able help people each and every day.

I will never forget any of you 
Just remember that every day.

To all of the students 
That I left behind. 

There is a place for you in my heart 
And you will always me on my mind. 

I will be coaching all of you again one day 
And all the coaches will be the same.

I will always love you 
Since you were what helped me each and ever day.

To all the coaches 
Thank for taking me fishing. 

And staying out all night long
When all of you would stand by my side. 

I will never forget 
What we would talk about.

Since it was about football
  All night all-long. 

I am glad I got to know all of you
 In each and every way.

And thank you for letting me join the family 
That I still love today.

I will never forget how you accepted me 
And remember god loves you day. 

Thank you also for getting a new coach 
So he can help all the kids in all ways.

I hate that I left that tragic day 
But I am here to say. 

All of you will be in heaven 
With me that one fate full day.
