He was different, he was special,
unique in a thousand ways,
He was giving, he was loving,
and we will miss him all our days.
There are those who would covet fame,
and court it like a beau,
There are those who will covet wealth,
kneeling in its glow,
But he was different.........
There are some who strive for praise;
they yern for world applause,
There are some who chose sweet comfort
as their one and only cause,
But he was different.........
There are some who race for power,
sure 'twill bring them joy,
Some who long for pleasure,
seeing time an enless toy,
But he was different.........
His legacy was friendship,
He was so giving of his time,
His bequest was his faith in God,
His child; his books of rhyme.
But forgive us lord for pining,
For wishing he was here,
It's hard to give up someone
We have come to love so dear.
Because you see................
He was different, he was special,
unique in a thosand ways,
He was loving, he was giving,
and we'll miss him,
miss him,
miss him all our days.
