Humble and true.
There was a very close friend
A man being and the warmth like the sun
A smile that would make the Moon grin
The man, my buddy Franklyn Greene
He died three years ago
I didn’t take his death well when I was told
I knew him over 30+ years from teenage to adult
It’s hard when you lose someone close
Mr. Greene is worthy of my boast
He was like nobody else
He had strength to turn a small rock into pebble pieces
Yet, had strength in character
Franklyn Greene was my biggest fan and always gave me inspiration.
Mr. Greene would often say, “I have seen you grow from teenager to a Man”
I am proud in who you have become
You believed in yourself, and he always believed in me
It was Franklyn Greene’s assurance and influence that I began
To believe in my own purpose in life
Fulfilling my dreams that became realities meant to be
Strong Man
Mr. Greene was always full of encouragement
My destination surfaced through the morning sunrise surpassed Beyond the sunset.
Life can be funny at times and complexed
It’s the hard knocks being the learning experiences through the pitfalls in making one strong and making one’s life complete
Mr. Greene, you were instrumental in my life more than you know
You are looking down on me with giving me an applause
But it is me giving you applause
Through your friendship, and our words spoken that I see life and living it
Thank you friend my everlasting buddy.
