For You Beav

For You Beav

A Poem by Healing Star
"

I'm the little brother, the tag along, of Beaver - Steve Frisk - Elementary school teacher, and teacher union Rep, Son, Father. If you knew Him you know you knew one hell of a Man.

"

You're so easy to be Around
I love it when you call me a Clown
I always wanted to get all the Laughs
Just like my big brother Did
You know I wouldn't let him catch me Staring
But you know I was always Glaring
I loved how much of an Individual he Was
There was somethin' so special, Cuz'
When he came home, everything got Lighter
His smile always got us up Higher

Sometimes I think he comes and visits Me
When I hit a joke like I never could Do
When I was just tryin' on my Own
Before he left us so Fast
In a blink he was Gone
In a blink he was Gone
And He finally was so Happy
He had it all, never did figure that Out 
Why He waited to take him, when he finally put
it all back together.
Why not when he had all fallen Apart
He had such a beautiful Heart 
He had a big, big, big Heart

I miss you Beaver
I miss you Beaver
I remember stayin' up in our bed playin' rummy
Almost every night, almost every night.
I remember your green army Jacket
And when I got bigger, I had to have one
I remember you takin' the lead in Ball
But that I didn't quite get after all.
I played but always the second Guard
I remember that day you saw me in the school yard
Someone pickin' on me, and I did not stand up for myself
And you came, and you didn't stay quiet
You asked me why, why didn't you stand up
And I, I just didn't know what to say
I guess I bought that story I was less
And my brother Beav, he never did, he never did
He was his own man and always was
Every picture when he was a Kid
You saw it in his Eye
To think of it makes me want to Cry
Always a face, the one my mom didn't want to See
But he knew even then just who he was
And now I know it really is True
That only the Good Die Young 
Only the Good die Young 
It's because we gotta stay and keep learning
But they, they had it all figured out so Fast
They knew how to Live, and make a Dream Last
Though he had a lot of Heart Ache in his Life
He lived it too its fullest, he was always standing Tall

I miss you Beaver
I miss you Beaver

I am a man who has finally realized he needs to write down what matters to him, that I might learn from myself, what is important, what I value. To capture who I am now, for that is all we have is no.. more..
