Puzzle
A big piece of you is missing
and it’s hard to understand why
Because the only time he hurt anyone
is when he said good-bye…
This life is a picture puzzle
difficult at times like these
So hard to put together
without that final piece
Like a photo and a memory
with one and not the other
It’s the picture of a family
without the son and brother.
But step back for a moment
and take one more look
You will find him right there
in the pictures that you took
You will remember his smile
and you can’t misplace his charms
You can see why you loved him
and feel the warmth of his arms.
A fixture in your mind’s eye
you will always find him there
In the family that he treasured
and in the stories you all share
You have memories to hold on to
lasting impressions of how they were made
So very evident as you look around
resilient smiles that can only fade
Put aside the stubborn sadness
take some time with those he knew
You have to start to live again…
because he is right here with you.
Today is about the friendships
so get a drink and grab a seat
Celebrate living life to the fullest
so that this puzzle is complete
Let’s reminisce about the good times
raise a glass and drink a beer
And it isn’t wrong to share a laugh
You know he would if he were here.
