Stay Strong

For a friend who lost his father...

He watched you grow admiring each day

Laughed and learned along in every way

He held you with his heart and with pride

Taught you to be strong without any reside

He has seen all the days offered a lifetime

Gave when he could to make a life sublime

Now age and time has ticked its slow hand

Now its your turn to be strong and stand

Show him the man that he invested true

The boy smile face and love deep in you

Time is short, let him know how you care

Stay with him now bury your despair

When the time comes, release his soul

Knowing that it was an honor in whole

That the heavens he will exist no pain

its now your job to carry on and sustain

I know your emotions been there as well

The grief and hurting can be our own hell

Don't give up Bro, we have to prove wrong

He taught us well and we need to stay strong!
