Some things in life,

are rotten and just unfair,

some people get a good run,

others just don't get their share.

Life doesn't last forever,

sometimes its cut way too short,

try adding up the logic,

and at times it'll come to nought.

You would do anything for anyone,

you would have given them the shirt off your back,

you were kind, generous and caring,

they were qualities that you never lacked.

And some people live their life,

and they get their three scores and ten,

but some don't get to leave their mark,

and others die lonely old men.

But you will always be remembered,

I'm sorry that you were cut in your prime,

there can be no other explanation,

other than it was simply your time.

And everything for a reason,

even though it's not that clear,

but your spirit is with us,

you will always be near.

And so life must go on,

just like it has done before,

just know you'll always be with us,

yesterday, now and for evermore.
