His stature immense
his honesty true
he goes to his maker
as some angels do
he gave so much pleasure
and suffered the pain
of depression
the obsession was his
and again
he smiled through his agony
into the night
bringing laughter and tears
to so many
the height
that he reached
took our breath away
clearly we saw
a saintly creation
enter the great door
RIP you were everybody’s friend
at least that is what they felt
and to reach that level of understanding
where else could you go
