Time has passed and it’s plain to see

That God had a different plan than me.

I assumed many things, as we all tend to do

And so it’s time to look at life anew.

You never took anyone or anything for granted

Even the smallest things left you enchanted.

When a friend, new or old, needed a voice, an ear or a hand

You were and are there and would always understand.

After seeing, speaking, writing to you, we were and are in a better place

No matter where we all are, we can feel your embrace.

Your perspective, you see, is what makes you unique

And we can all learn from your special technique.

To see what’s needed and to do what’s right

To be kind, empathetic, don’t laugh…but our “white knight.”

The love surrounding you radiates all around

And we feel that love, back and forth, as it does surround

Our worlds, here and there, as we feel your heart

And let’s us know that we will never be apart.

We miss you here with us you see,

But God had a different plan than me.
