John you are a world full of passion and music
A lovable romantic,
A musical song bird who sings in the choir
A preacher who is knowledgeable of the Bible
A warm hearted Christian soul
Who is the passionate writer you all know
A friendly, brotherly type with a sympathic ear
One brother, two sisters and a mother who is dear
Someone who has seen the hard part of life
Someone who has faced adversity and came out just right
Someone who I am proud to call my friend
Someone who was willing to try and make a difference
So song bird, my special buddy to you I salute.
(For the contest I chose my buddy John Loving iii)
