God called a friend home today
A friend to you and me
A beacon to the world around
No equal could there be
Courageous in his battle
He fought back the disease
Extra time for him and us
Precious memories
It’s hard to fight against the tears
Controlling fears and thoughts
When losing someone so unique
No way to measure loss
A husband and a father gone
But never out of mind
His light still shines through their eyes
And will for all their time
A trail of smiles and laughter
A path of joy and fun
Brightened days and touched lives
His legacy is won
We always seek for answers
But struggle on the way
Impossible to know God’s plan
Still asking “Why?” today
A loss too tough to think beyond
But there the truth may be
To know him was a gift from God
Simple and complete
