For Uncle D.

This lyric poem/song I wrote for my class is for my Uncle Daren. I love you Uncle D. I'm glad you can now rest with Grampa. Give my little Willy dog some loves too!

V2:

I woke up today

To your momma on the phone

“It can’t be true, it can’t be true!”

What happened to you?

What happened to the tow head boy?

The one I never got to know.

The one so filled with life.

What happened to you?

Chorus:

Your beautiful soul was always weary from the fight.

Fighting the dance that the devil always led.

The dance that never ended.

How life must have seemed, living in a place so dark.

V2:

Now we’re here, without you

Trying to imagine the life that led,

To your all too soon death.

It hurts to breathe each breath.

Your boys now walk, without you.

You were their best friend,

More than just their dad.

But now it hurts to breathe each breath.

Chorus:

Your beautiful soul was always weary from the fight.

Fighting the dance that the devil always led.

The dance that never ended.

How life must have been, living in a place so dark.

Bridge:

I prayed, I prayed so hard

That it wasn’t really true.

But now you’re gone.

And we’re left to carry on.

But that’s okay, yeah that’s ok.

Because now you have made it home

Chorus:

Your beautiful soul now rests from the fight.

Drugs and demons can’t lead anymore.

Your wearisome dance is over.

Now rest, rest in a place that is now so light.
