Ode
to Gregg
Gregg - I
hardly knew ye
But I know what you loved
Long brown hair
Big brown eyes
Laughing children
Rosy cheeks
Golf clubs
Baseball caps
…ducks
Gregg - I
hardly knew ye
But I know what you did
You worked hard
And played hard
And loved hard
You built a beautiful home
And a wonderful life
And guided so many children to reach athletic heights
…and raised ducks
Gregg - I
hardly knew ye
But God knows you so well
And for reasons we'll never know
He called you back from whence you came.
God must
have said
"Gregg - you did a fine job on earth
But I bring you home in peace and love
So you can see all
And know all
And forever be among us all
To watch over your wife and three children
Who love you so much."
And God said
-
"so Gregg - what's up with all those birds?"
And so Gregg
I know who you loved
And what wonderful things you did here on earth
And I know that over time, when the healing begins,
Your family will know that you're still here among us,
Bestowing your love, warmth and guidance
forever…
