~LIKE NO ONE ELSE" (FIELD GILLIAM) Happy EARTH Day Daddy~

We didn't get to say goodbye,
I guess that was your way of preventing that,
Not allowing us to finalize our relationships with you,
So I guess you are with us forever......

So now who are we to measure ourselves by,
When we need a standard set on how much fun to have,
Because you could party
Like no one else;

And who is going to show us
how not to waiver on our convictions,
Because you could stand strong
Like no one else;

And from who do we learn how bad not to be,
Because you sure could "raise hell"
Like no one else;

And who is going to help us take on
the trials and challenges of life,
Because you stayed a winner
Like no one else;

And who is going to teach us
how to fantasize with grace and style,
Because you could "shoot the bull"
Like no one else;

And whom are we to compare ourselves to
when it comes to giving LOVE,
Because you gave
Like no one else;

I guess now I understand why
you wouldn't let us say........

"Goodbye!"
