Sonny

Your body gone
But I remember you
Eyes smiling
Your grin unfiltered
And I knew when I saw you
I should’ve known
I should’ve known that
I should’ve known

Your voice gone
But I remember you
Long bearded laughter
And how you always said hello
Your greetings bright each time I saw you
And I didn’t see
I didn’t see that
I didn’t see

Your words gone
But I remember you
Deep seated thoughts unrushed by circumstance
You stood like an oak
And oh how we loved you
Basking in your shade
We loved to love you

And your spirit stays.
Legacy and honor living on
In more part after your departure
Your spirit stays.
