-14 YEARS- 14 years, still passing the time- Live to laugh to love-you always cross my mind- And if I may-may I please express to you- That right now we need your wisdom, because of what our family is going through- Your apart of the stars now and have been for sometime but here on earth we fight with the daily grind- Living life to the best of our abilityβs and if you please, would you send a smile down to me? Your kids are growing in ways you might be proud-Filling them with joy as we express out loud- Your Grandsonβs are men-Proud you so would be-Becoming men of gratitude and loyalty- Your brothers are well easing there way to the golden years-Always talking about you and for some reason you re-appear- And I hear you cracking a joke, light up a smoke-Smiling with me- Your Mother is making ways preparing to see you soon-Please make sure this is easy as I know you would- This is a hard time-But I think of your smile-And I know deep in my heart you will help make it all worth while- I love and Miss you Uncle Richie
