While Were Here

While we  all are here
We do all but care
Dancing in the bars, sipping on beer
Cooking up dust...  
 until the dust gets cleared

Ole Hoop had his share
Had a little of  that... 
and that there

we all have a purpose
That isn't quite clear 
Until it's accomplished 
Which leads us here...

Remember me at my best
Leave me to rest
...I hear him at peace,
At peace at last

Trece my dear,
Says you've  always been there
From the moment she arrived
 yall been connected by hip

The love of a father
The love for his daughter
Conquers all... and last forever 
Rejoice in glory
And always remember 
Time may pass
But family lasts forever

Carry on with grace 
Share my presence
Let the world know
Hoop let em have it

Steady forward the journey Continues 
It's not not how you died
... but what you lived through
