The evening you left us was the worst of my life
I couldn’t believe it
All I could do was cry
I knew you would smack me for being so distressed
You’d look me right in the eyes and say
“Quit it you dumb fathead!”
That wasn’t the only thing I loved to be named
I couldn’t take you seriously
When you called me a pea brain
Everyone who knew you was shocked with this surprise
We never thought we’d see the day
You and God would make us all cry
Every day I’d talk to you and listen to your advice
Never once did I think to myself
“This could be the end of his life”
You were so weak, yet you acted so strong
You couldn’t stand for someone to think
That something could be wrong
You taught me so much on and off the field
Taking you and leaving me
Wasn’t a fair deal
The worst thing ever is not having you here
I know you had to miss someone’s
But why my senior year?
Although you can’t be with us as we walk across the stage
The class of 2016 knows
You’re there in your own ways
Giving us all big hugs, no one else will see
You’ll never tell us to our faces
But you’re sad to watch us leave
You were such as inspiration, such a great man
You were like a father to me
At games you were my biggest fan
Moving up to varsity was the second worst thing
That comes right after number one
The day God gave you wings
