A time for Love
A time for Peace
A time for Pain
A time for Grief

It's time for Pain
It's time for Sadness
But we'll get thru it
And end up with Gladness

Called Bubba
and The MonkeyMan
We must Learn
Not to take for Granted

His crooked Smile
His caring Personality
His selfless Way
His comical Style

We won't always Have
His Kisses
His Touches
His Hugs
His Wishes

But always we Remember
And Never Forget
That to have loved is not to have

Lost
And to have forgave is not to have

Forgot

A week ago, a boy from my school drowned. Going to his memorial, and having seen his impact on people inspired me to write this for him.
