In the eyes of a child
Death is a bully
But in the eyes of an adult
It is a familiar friend.
I wonder when it takes its change
How could one controll the pain
Why couldn't he only see
He could rely upon me?
Maybe he felt all alone
Maybe he couldn't take it
Maybe the life he chose to lead
Never led him home?
He never realized that the pain wasn't
Just the beginning of the end
I never knew a person could live their life
Always playing pretend.
I know he loved his family
And saw they had nothing left to gain
How could he play out this tradgedy
And still live in shame?
He was a father son and grandchild
To them he was everything
A popular man in society
But did he recognize his fame?
In times of dire need
He helped us all to learn and succeed
He taught me to never lose sight
Of all my hopes and dreams
He gave us all a lesson
On how to become
The people that we care about
And the people we'll become
For his happiness I am thankfull
And his joy I adore
I just can't see why
Life couldn't give him more
